Angry Check Engine light - what now?

Very unhappy this morning when i was driving normally and my Check Engine Light and TCS light came on, on my 99 tl. I pulled over, turned off the car waited a minute and then turned it back on. This time only the check engine light stayed lit. I contacted my dealer, and got an appointment for tuesday.. You guys think its ok to drive it or no?

Also anyway to find out whats wrong before i bring it to the dealer??

P.S. just had an oil change last week
