Default Check engine light on

My 97 accord has 77k miles on it and the check engine light just came on. I checked the oil, and coolant and they are fine, the car is running normally. I'm wondering is the light telling me to change out the o2 sensor or is it possibly something else?

The CEL may be on for an oil change, or maintenance problem. Go to an autoshop, or parts place that will check the cause for the light to be on for free, then see if they will reset it. If it is just for an engine oil change reminder, the light will not come back on.

Just got back from Advance Auto and a buddy of mine pulled the code and it was the torque converter circuit code, So, reckon I'll check out how much that will cost me.
