Check Emgine light on 850 1996

One very hot day last week (97 degrees) my Check Engine light came on while I was driving. What little the manual says about this warning light makes it sound like a minor issue likely related to the emission system in some way. I'm hoping the hot weather caused some pressure problem within the fuel supply and it's simply a sensor that needs to be reset.

On other cars I've had, this light only came on in cases of dire neeed of investigation. (like a blown hose and rocketting engine temp)

All fluids seem fine, the gas cap is secure, (although a third party cap, has been for two years, no light) and engine temp stays exactly where it should be.

I'll deffinitely get it looked at ASAP but I don't think I can pick my brother up from the airport on my Vespa.

Any words of warning or assurance?

Thanks, Alan
