It's flashing a code. The easiest way to diagnose it is to take it to AutoZone and ask them to run the codes on it. AutoZone will do this for free in most states (they will not in California due to the law restricting it).

You will get a printout that diagnoses what is going on with your car. At that point, take it to a mechanic.
