Sounds as if the engine has developed a cylinder misfire. First thing to do is access the engine control module data by using a scan tool to see what code or codes has turn the engine light on. After you retrieve the codes proceed with the diagnosis.

Maintenance lights can be turned off by. Turning the ignition to on position, press the gas pedal three times slowly within five seconds. The light will flash. When it stops flashing, turn it off. The light should go off after the vehicle is started.
It's a manual reset slot. You have to insert your ignition key all the way into the slot next to the maintenance light and it will push in and reset the light.
If it's running rough, chances are that it's misfiring. If the Check Engine light is flashing/blinking, it is definitely misfiring. If that's the case, drive it as little as possible... Or straight to the mechanic because the more you drive it while it's misfiring, the higher the chance is of you ruining your catalytic converter.
An engine light will flash from everything from a loose petrol cap to major engine issues...so at this stage it could be anyones guess....what you need to do is contact a mechanic or your local auto parts place to have your system checked with a scan tool.... this will indicate where the fault lies and give you an indication of what you might do to fix it.....

The problem could range from gas cap not on properly to a potential complete engine failure.
Take it to an auto parts store and have them run the code. Autozone will do this for free. From there, you will be able to determine the severity of the problem.
Try applying a none liquid graphite lubricant into the ignition key hole, work it into the key hole with the key, DO NOT use a liquid lubricant on ignition switches it can short out the ignition switch. engine management light? bring it to autozone or advance auto ask to use thier code reader plug it in and check to see if the car is throwing a code then go from there.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM ( ESP) LIGHT FLASHES TO INDICATE UNSTABLE DRIVING CONDITIONS....WHICH WILL ALSO COME ON IF YOUR ENGINE IS MISFIRES.. CHECK THE COILS AND SPARK PLUGS FIRST THEN GO FOR FUEL..INJECTORS...FUEL FILTER CHOKED..HOPE I WAS OF SOME HELP TO YOU..
