I'm pretty sure a read from an OBDII reader would tell you wonders.
There are plenty of them out on the net and it's a good investment to get one. Good choice on the ride BTW-

hahahaha, not without the exact codes the car is throwing, we simply cannot, as that would be impossible.

Could be anything. Take it to a indy mechanic who has the equipment to determine what caused the light to illuminate. Might want to check your gas cap to see if its closed tight

Apparently you didn't crack open your owners manual to see exactly what that warning light means.
 Like others mentioned...you need to have your car hooked to something that can read your OBD II codes. If all of this is foreign to you...just google OBD II codes for more info. In most states...auto places like Autozone will read your OBD II codes for free.   -

well a good starting point is the cam shaft position sensor exhaust. I have same car almost same miles 59800. Mine SES will pop on and then turn off. Code on mine is p0369. You may get same or something else. Just go to autozone they read the code for free. Make sure you buy the original sensors as the other types seem to fail very fast. Part is a 100 bucks, and can be replaced in a few minutes. I'll have a write up on it soon if the part ever arrives.
