 I think it'll cycle through after a few days.  The CE light will trigger off
after xx starts and xx miles (or something like that...).  Anyhow, give it a
few days to cycle and if it doesn't work its way clear by a week or so, make a
stop by your local Vdub mechanic to pull the codes.  I wouldn't worry about it,
heard this happening before and it goes out on its own...

YMMV.
