They are probably trying to use an OBDII scanner on it. Some OBDII scanners will read OBDI cars with an OBDII ALDL port and some won't. I take it you took it to an auto parts store?

Check the bottom right hand pin on the ALDL port for 12v power.

Since its a 95 it could be OBD II style ALDL with 12v power from the ALDL or the older OBD style ALDL wich is external power source.

i would assume they are connecting an OBD-II reader to your OBD-I car. some scanners can read them as previously stated. do you know about when the light comes on? is it like cruising at 50-55mph? or is it randomly? probably the EGR if i were to simply guess.
