Misfires and now traction control light?

So - my 2004 mini JCW has been misfiring as of late. Popped check engine a few times - both times on cylinder 2. I've checked spark plugs, wiring harness, and just re-arranged the fuel cylinders last time (to try to narrow down the issue)

This time - she popped the check engine, and shortly after the traction control light came on (I didn't touch it).

I need to get the code read (I don't have a reader of my own... urg). Any ideas what might be the issue (if it's not the fuel cylinders... which I'm doubting now because of the addition of the traction control light).

She has 112k miles, and has run like a champ. She has a 17% pully, I do regular oil changes and only run 92 through her. Had the front passenger control arm replaced 6 months ago after a small impact to the wheel. Got that fixed and aligned, had no issues with traction since.

HALP!
