"P" light comes on at start up...

Pretty self explanatory. The light comes on a for a second when i turn the car on. Dont recall it doing this before, anyone have any ideas? Il run a diagnostic check when im off of work and not at skoo like now.. but for now if anyone has any ideas thanks. its usually in C when i start it just to put it out there. so for a second both are on until the p goes off.

doesnt it say in the manual that flashing light means you have a code to look up?
