Check Engine / DIC

Wow ... what a month for my Saab! Seems like everything is going wrong lately. The question for today is why does my Check Engine light come on and stay on? Here are the conditions:
1. Recently posted questions on saabnet related to headlamps
2. Got some great advice, changed my DRL's and learned about rear light failures.
3. After fixing said DRL, jumped in the car and Check Engine light is on! There is no SID message though.
4. Questioned my wife, she did not use the "three click" rule when filling up with gas a few days ago. Also used low quality gas (AM/PM/Arco) but high octane (90).
So now I have confirmed that the gas cap is properly clicked on. Can low quality gas cause a Check Engine condition? Is it OK to drive to the nearest autozone for a code read (probably 15 minutes one-way)? I have heard that DIC could be the cause --- how can I troubleshoot the DIC? If there is another post that covers this then please point it out!
Thanks in advance for any advice.
