The check engine light on a Mazda Tribute gives warning of potential problems. It can signal overheating, low oil, or engine misfires.
Overheating can cause some serious engine problems. Once the check engine light is on you need to use an engine diagnostic code reader to find out what's wrong. You can borrow, rent or buy the code scanner from most auto parts retailers.
You get a OBD II reader (http://www.nextag.com/obd-ii-code-reader/search-html), which will read the code, tell you what the problem is, and if desired, reset the check engine light. If you don't fix the problem,however, you are not guaranteed that the light will go away permanently.

You must reset the light with an OBD2 scan tool. Resetting the light without repairing the problem that set the fault code in the first place will only allow the light to come on again.
