Name taken from the open OBDex code list (public domain).

What do I do now?

If the engine light flashes, the car loses a lot of power, overheats or the brakes fail, stop somewhere safe and call for assistance.
If the car drives normally, book a garage and show them this code: its exact meaning and the cause depend on each model.
Tell us what you notice: the diagnosis takes the code, your car and the symptoms into account.

This code does not point to the engine, the brakes or the transmission: you will see the X-ray car with no area marked.
