You might have something coming up just around the corner.

The lamp signals that the engine ECU has detected an engine management error while driving. Could be anything from a corroded connector to dirt in the fuel.
Donno how you read out the the diagnostic codes from the later type HDI ECU's. This code will point to the problem area on the engine. That is if the error was present long enough to be stored as an error code ...
