Only problem is I can't replace parts under warranty if the flash is on there when the Tech reads the codes. So starting with the cheaper-to-replace parts: spark plugs.
Have you purchased the spark plug socket adapter yet? You'll need that to remove the plugs. How many miles are on your car? Just an fyi, my car only had 18k on it when this happened...I swapped plugs around before I bought any parts and found that it kept following the same coilpack so I'm still running stock plugs. Lemme know how it all goes and what the issue was.
