Follow the link that Bill provided you.... it gives you instructions
on how to retrieve the engine codes and determine why the light came
on. No, it's not a usual problem, unless something is wrong. :)
Another decent page on how to retrieve check engine light codes:

12 == normal battery disconnect code that resets after
a god awful number of starts. Usually ignored.
(check/clean the battery terminals anyway)
21 == O2 sensor (upstream) i.e. before the cat.
Time to get a new one. My fav OEM parts counter
is buymopar.com (a dealer but without the dealer
price gouging)

The light will reset once the O2 sensor is fixed.

The 12 code will clear itself only after about 50 starts,
that's why it's generally ignored unless there are a lot of
other error codes being thrown out. It sets every time you
disconnect the battery.
