Default Engine Check light!!! Help with MY94 WRX

Please help technical experts.......

After a short trip (20miles) I tried to restart my 94 WRX import but noticed the bottom red lights remained on in the dash including the engine check light.

I tried to fire it up but it was just turning over. I then left it for an hour came back turned the igntion on and red lights including engine check light remained but it started ok. I then drove home and switched the engine off.

Can anybody confirm if this sounds like crankshaft sensor fail as the fans were not running on the restart so I dont think it could be the temperature sensor

The car was also in for an mot today which passed but the emissions needed sorting if you catch my drift so im wondering if this could be linked?

PS first time its happened.

Thanks
David
