Default Check engine light flashed, stopped

This has happened twice this week: When I started the car ('00 996), it was idling a little roughly, and as I pulled out of my parking space the check engine light started flashing. I pulled back into my space, turned the car off, waited a few seconds and restarted it. The check engine light did not come on at all, and the car ran perfectly.

Any ideas? The MAF and oxygen sensor have already been replaced under warranty. I searched the forum, but could not find a matching situation.

I took the car to my mechanic. They read the code, and it is the other oxygen sensor on the intake side. Rob, thanks for the tip on the reader. I will pick one up.
