63,000 miles & Check Engine Light

I have a 2001 v8 tundra that just hit 63k. The check engine light also just came on. Does anyone know if this light automatically comes on at a certain mileage level? I know some some other car companies have the check engine light set so that it comes on at certain mileage levels.

No it doesn't. It means the there is a malfunction indication and that you need to have the MIL code read to determine the problem.

Mine came on today also... I'm 2001 at almost 70k. I've already had the O2 sensors replaced (once under warranty, then again with recall). Could it be the same thing? or is there another common problem that causes it to happen? I figure I'll be OK waiting until tomorrow to get it checked since everything seems OK now.
Comments?

It was the O2.
