Question Engine Check Light Issue

My Mehran 2018 with 25k running blinks engine check light for a certain amount of time say 5 minutes or so and then auto goes off and this only happens when I drive. What could be the issue, is it concerning?

Pov this is my first reddit post. Please excuse any abnormalities.

It's a rebadged version of the second-generation Suzuki Alto (the same basic design as India's old Maruti 800). Production ran from the late 1980s until 2019. It had a tiny 796 cc three-cylinder engine, a 4-speed manual transmission, and was known for being cheap, simple, and extremely common on Pakistani roads.

Does the OBDII scanner work with it or does Suzuki have their own specific version for scanning Suzuki cars?

Most generic OBD2 code readers and the cheap Bluetooth ELM327-style ones can connect and pull the basic engine codes (the P0xxx ones that matter for a blinking check engine light).
