service engine light soon at 2000 miles

My check engine light soon has come on twice both when my gas gauge was near empty. I made sure my gas tank cap was tight and it still wouldn't turn off. After a day or so it went out and now a month later it came on again. The car runs fine, what might it be. Anything simple or do I have to take it to Mitsubishi? I have had it re-flashed so I am not anxious to bring it to my dealer.
Thanks

Buy a cheap code reader, sells for around $100. Well worth it, most shops charge 50-70 dollars just to read what code is stored in your computer.

I dont know if you can do this anymore, where i am from they made it a law that they cannot read codes for you because of some stupid reason.
