In the 2008 Chevrolet Equinox, and in almost any other vehicle, there are many possible reasons for the check engine light coming on. The best course of action is to have your vehicle scanned with an OBD2 tool. If you don't own one, you can visit most major auto parts stores where they will read the codes for free. The most common culprit is often a problem with the EVAP system, such as a loose gas cap, damaged fuel filler neck, faulty purge canister, or other fuel system issues. To accurately determine the problem, you will need a more detailed diagnostic code.
