Default Check Engine Light, Need Some Help

Last night I stopped at the grocery store after work and when I came back out and started my car the check engine light came on. The only mod I've done is the Corsa exhaust last year so it's not that. I seem to remember reading somewhere that you can get the error codes by jumping a couple pins on the diagnostic port. Has anyone seen or done that? Also, does anyone know where I can find a listing of what the error codes mean? I could just take it to a dealer but I'd rather diagnose it myself first if I can. Thanks.

I don't have the codes, but if it is on solid don't worry it is just some emission thing. My comes on if I don't use force to pu tthe gas cap back on after I fill up. I just open the cap and put it back on. Three trips later the light goes out. If it is blinking then you have serious porblem that need to be checked out immediately!!!

It's on solid, not blinking. At least that's some good news.

Thanks QuickSilver! I never thought to check the Tech Tip section. (Duh) It's printing out as I type.
