This is why we said have the codes read before you do anything else. Disconnecting the battery for longer than 30 seconds will clear your computer, so whatever the CEL was trying to tell you is now gone.

Your computer is going to be trying to learn its settings again now that it's been reset, so be sure to do a little bit of normal and a little bit of intense driving in the next 100 miles to give the car plenty to learn.
