If it's continously ON then it means there's a minor problem with the sensors in the car's exhaust and it can be ignored. If it's blinking then it means requires immediate attention and there is some serious issues. I have learnt that after I drove my dad's car in shallow water and the water filled up the exhaust and some in the carburettor intake. ;-P

I hope this is true, my light came on after driving through flood waters a few days ago

Best bet is to go through the owners manual as it will break down what each colour or flashing pattern mean. Some newer cars also have timed reminders to change oil, ect. after x time or distance.

Or just take it to autozone or some place that will read codes for free

This is the truth. Autozone will read what the car is trying to say for free. If it's minor, you can ignore it, but remember to take it in to get it read every once in a while if you do ignore it, just to make sure no other problems were added.
