Does it have an aftermarket ecu? I'm sure I've heard of the engine management light doubling as a knock warning.

if it is the transmission light then defo get it check via OBD diagnostics. It may well be a crappy tank of fuel though mate.

I had that happen a few times, but a good full tank of V Power will sort it.
