Do the easy stuff first.
Check the gas cap to make sure it is on correctly. That can set the light off and it will reset with a certain number of cycles (can't remember right now).
Also you can go to your local AutoZone, Advanced or other parts store and have them pull the codes from your car. The more specific code will give us much more to work with.

No permanent fix that I know of...just make sure you hear those 'clicks' when screwing the Gas Cap back on.
