a tune up to start and as long as the motor is in good working order and you dont have a service engine light on and your exhaust isnt rotted or missing the CAT you should be fine

autozone will get you the code for free then look up what the code means. It could be a million things that make the light go on but if the car runs fine maybe as simple as an o2 sensor.

I was going to say they sell a can of something that you spray in your tailpipe to pass the emmissions test at walmart, but if the light is on... Autozone.

. What you CAN do is to go ahead and make your appt to have ur car smogged- drive there but don't pull into the service drive yet, disconnect your battery for 30 seconds (to erase the code)- then drive in and get it smogged. If you're lucky- your check engine light will stay off throughout the smog test. This is assuming your vehicle will pass the emissions test and the rest of the visual/functional checks. (keep in mind that disconnecting your battery can cause idle problems due to the erasure of the adaptive idle settings).
