Answer
No it won't hurt you to drive your car for a week with the check engine light on.  the code is for your evaporative emmissions system.  the code stands for EVAP SYSTEM SMALL LEAK DETECTED.  It is possible you left your gas cap slightly loose.  If it is not loose you should take the car into the dealer when you have a chance.
