All you have to do is run a diagnostic on it then take the number and look it up in a diagnostic code book from the local library or you can Google it. You will not get exactly what is going on but it will give you several options then you can check each one by one

It means that the computer has stored a diagnostic code and you should connect a code scanner to determine what the code means. If you can't do it yourself, you should take it to a shop. When something goes wrong, typically with a sensor or other electronic device, the computer detects the fault and stores it for diagnostic purposes, but you need to read the code to find out what it means.
