If the check engine light comes on in your 2012 Chevrolet Equinox, it means that the engine control unit has detected a problem and is trying to alert you. You will have a diagnostic trouble code associated with the light, which you can read using an aftermarket scanner or a Bluetooth dongle and mobile app. Alternatively, you can take your vehicle to a place like AutoZone where they can read the code for you. Common issues that trigger the light include sensor failures or problems with the catalytic system. It's important to address the issue promptly to determine the exact error code and take appropriate action.
