It means the computer has a code available to alert you to something that needs to be checked. It could be something simple and common, like a non-sealing gas cap that needs to be replaced. If the light is flashing while driving, it is a more serious problem that needs immediate attention, like an overheating catalytic converter system.

Many places, like AutoZone (no endorsement), will bring a code reader out to the parking lot and get the code for free.
