Default Engine Malfunction Light On

Hi All,
just driving along, and the warning light came on the dash, the engine malfunction light?, the car drives normal, no fault messages, yet, but I have no code reader, will try to get to the garage tomorrow, but where should I be looking for problems?
Another query, while looking around under the bonnet, I noticed the radiator top hose was a bit flat? I mean it looked a little squashed, I tried squeezing it to re-shape it, it did a little but I thought the hose was a little soft and to easy to squeeze, is this normal or is it faulty?
regards.

If you have an i phone you can download an app called Torque and I believe you

can use it to read and clear codes or you can buy an OBD code reader,usually

for less than a dealer will charge for one scan.

Thanks for that, I might look into that APP, I've looking to buy a code reader but unsure of which model.

regards.
