Default Check Engine Light

Hi Everyone,
Sorry to bug everyone with this topic. I read through alot of the archives but couldn'd find anything similar. I just got a 96 A4 with a 12V 2.8. Two days ago I went through a car wash and about a minute after I pulled out the check engine light came on, and still hasn't gone out. The car seems to start and run with no noticable problems. Is there any inexpensive way to check the code or at least reset it to see if it come back? Any info would be great!!

Thanks in advance,
Steve

Default Mine came on.......................

and my audi tech checked it on the computer and said it was just something with the catylitic converter - he said not to worry until it starts to blink

But since he reset it, it has not come back
