i was down at the beach this past weekend and i noticed my check engine light had illuminated. the only thing i can think of that might have cause anything to happen wouldve been driving through some standing water (on the road not salt water). but i figure that wouldnt do much. i still have a dealership warranty on it but i want to know if i can save myself the trip.

You would first need to get the OBD code to find out what the problem is. Many auto parts stores will read the code for you or you can pickup a code reader from someone like http://www.obd-2.com/

My light is on as well, but it is due to a defective oxygen sensor. I go fishing routinely up at around 4,500 - 5,000 feet, and the sensor doesn't recover from that elevation back at sea level. Mine is being replaced tomorrow. Unless your disco is running poorly, it is probably a defective sensor.
