Default Engine light stays on 2007

My engine light recently came on. I changed my oil and coolant recently, so I don't think that's it. The engine sounds fine.

Can anyone recommend what to do? I thought I'd have autozone scan it.

Sounds like a plan. Check your fuel cap first. A loose or bad cap will turn the engine light on.

If it is the gas cap, it will take about a dozen engine starts before the CEL will turn off in my past experiences with my 06Z if not turned off with scan tool. With either a new cap or the old cap, install by twisting without any downward pressure on the cap.
