Yes, take it to a repair shop.
You have a failure either in the power supply or one of the power amps. There is likely to be burned component(s) that are not user serviceable.
These things are a bear to work on... Mine failed again and I dread having to work on it.
The protect monitors power supply current drain of the switcher and the power amp balance.
DO NOT USE IT till it is repaired. Continued use or fuse replacement will likely do additional damage.
When the Check Engine light (or Service Engine Soon or small picture of an engine) is turned on, the systems computer control unit (called the PCM) has sensed a fault in the electronic controls of the engine and/or the emission system. When this happens you will seldom feel the car engine run any different. There are about 200 possible system faults (the gas cap is just one of them) that turn the Check Engine light on, to know what has developed a problem you must have the system tested, this is called an OBD2 fault code test, Kragen/Oriley and Autozone parts stores (USA only) do this testing for free.
