As a basic first step, please ensure your gas cap is tightly closed. My friend had the same problem. Before he could take it to the emissions test he took it to CARx to get it fixed. Later, the guys at the emissions inspection site seems to have told him that 90% cause of check light is because of an untight gas cap.

You took the damn thing up to autozone, maybe you should have had them tell you the code.

Some aftermarket gas caps will cause the same light to go on.
