Means that there is more fuel going into the engine than normal. It's probably running rich BECAUSE of the check engine light, which is a normal response from the ECU to prevent any detonation due to lean (less fuel than nominal) fuel delivery.

RICH: too much fuel, not enough air
LEAN: too much air, not enough fuel
