It means the engine computer detected a problem and stored a code specific to the problem. I don't know if the parts stores where you live scan for codes as a free service.

Once you get the code, you can post it on here and we can help you out.

The antenna is probably powered. Starting in 1996 in the US, the antenna was part of the rear windshield.

If you hear a motor sound when you turn on the radio, then it is powered. If the antenna retracts near the gas tank lid, then you can pull back the inside trim in the trunk to see if there is a motor.
