Check engine light went on

Hi,
i don't know if this was asked before, but my check engine light went on. I would like to know the error or reason behind it. I have NCS Expert and it works on my laptop but I'm not proffecient in it. Is there a way to read the error?
There are 2 MINI experts in my area but they are not trustworthy and the official MINI dealership charges for the diagnosis I believe.
I just wanna know if the issue is crucial and needs to be fixed ASAP or if it can wait a few days/weeks.
I appologize if the formatting is a bit off but I am using my mobile phone.
PS: I have a MINI cooper countryman 2013

Welcome aboard. You could take it to Autozone for free reading.

INPA can read codes but i dont think it spells out the error. It's a good start nonetheless.

I don't know if I'm missing something but my INPA only shows me that the ignation is on and battery is on.

If the two dots are on, you're connected. Look at the menu to find R56. If not i think E90 is also same platform and will show R56 from there.
