I would check your owners manual I think that comes on when either car is overheating or has a fan issue. As temp looks okay I would check fans and for codes.
Do you know why your check engine light is on?

Edit: Just pulled up the manual for your car check page 346-347.
If it has just that picture and nothing else the car is saying you have an issue with your fan.

I'm thinking your ambient temperature sensor has failed or come loose. Check the connection. It's in the front bumper. Not sure where it is exactly for a facelifted model but for pre-facelift the sensor is in the lower R side of the car next to the fog light.

As for the CEL, what does a code reader say?

on the facelift it's on the same side Right passenger on the bottom next to fog lights.

You should provide the check engine codes it could be a faulty sensor you don't want to just start guessing... and always try to use OEM or OE parts from my experience anything else has given me issues.
