There are hundreds of things that can cause the Check light to come on.
The easiest thing to do is to get an OBD II Code Reader and simply read the code(s) that is(are) stored, then reset the codes and -- depending on what the codes are -- either wait for the Check light to come on again, or buy some parts and put them in. You probably left the gas cap off, and the code is in the P0440 family, P0440 thru P0460. These codes are what you get if the Evaporative Emission Control System isn't up top snuff.

Thank you, Billy Ray. I tried that for fun in my 2001 Grand Cherokee and
even though I didn't have a light on it still replied back "done." That'll save me $75 from buying one of those readers.

Eddy,
I also have the 01 XJ Sport. The On/Off/On/Off/On method(MILF) does not work for this model. It was discontinued after '97 IIRC. I spent the bucks and bought an OBD II scanner from Actron at my local Farm and Fleet store. If in the So. WI area, contact me and I will help you out with pulling the codes. Otherwise, someone mentioned to stop at an Autozone/Checker parts stores and they will usually pull the codes for you for little or no money. Brian Madison, WI.
