Default Check Engine Light

Hello,
My CEL came on a couple of days ago and has been on for a few days now. The earliest I can take it to the dealer is next week. I was wondering if it's safe to drive the car normally in the meantime?
Also if anyone know of usual solutions to the problem (I tried the fuel cap tightening but to no avail), then please let me know. It might save me a trip to the dealer.
Thanks!

Default You'll need to get your codes read, either by the dealer or at Autozone.

Autozone will also clear them for you, if you ask.
