I think you need to get it scanned and interpreted.
You need to find a mechanic with a Snap-On Scanner Unit or similar.

BTW what pattern is showing up when the light flashes?
Did you do any modifications/upgrades recently?

where in tnt can i get it scanned?

anil saying it may be the o2 sensor gone. the light stays on constantly and the car works properly although it is a little bit down on power.

all i did was full up gas and drive up north and then the light came on.
