Default Engine Management Light

Hi please forgive me, this type of thread has probably been on here too many times before, but i am brand new to subaru ownership and would like some advice. I bought my first completly standard 2002 WRX on friday, i took it straight home changed the oil and filter and also added some anti-freeze as there was not much in there. After that i have covered about 100miles then the dredded light came on, it was flashing at first for arround 30 sec then it went solid, i have had a good look round the engine bay but cant see any wires or plugs loose. The car seems to drive fine and there is no loss in power or stuttering, obviosly i am going to get it looked at by the garage but does anyone have any ideas for me to have a look at before i do? regards Scott

where are you located ? On a newage car you need to connect it up to a laptop with lead/software or a scan code reader or the main stealers,
A lot of member's have the laptop and lead so you may find someone who is local to you that may be able to help.
