I just had this problem last night on my way home from the Toronto meet.
My maintenance light was on solid after blinking for a few days. I didn't reset, and last night, the CEL came on, along with the VSA lights. The VSA lights went off after a restart, but the CEL remained on.
I reset the maintenance light, then the CEL went off this morning when I restarted the car.
But in your case, it's just blinking. Nonetheless, I would try the reset procedure for the maintenance light and see what happens. Take your car to AutoZone if you have one in the area. They scan codes for free. The diagnostics port is underneath the "Not an Ashtray" tray -- grab the cover and pop it toward you. If it's a later batch '02 or an '03, then it's underneath the steering column.
Good luck.

bring the car to a autozone or like store that has free diagnostics and let them plug the car in and read the code for you.
