The CEL will never blink. The light came on because there was/is a problem. Unless you or someone you know has diagnostic equipment to decode the CEL, you have to bring it to the dealership.
If you think the CEL was a one time error, you could undo the positive battery lead to soft-reset the ecu. If there is a reoccurring problem, the light will come back on in time.

A trip to the dealer might not be entirely necessary. All the AutoZones in my area offer code pulling free of charge. Once you know the code it might be something you can fix without having to be without transport for a day and having to put up with the BS the stealership will undoubtedly give you.
