It will shut off eventually after so many key cycles if the fault is gone.Its best to have the code cleared with scan tool.Take it to a auto parts store and have them clear the code.That way you will make sure you fixed it.I have thought i fixed a check engine light before and was suprized it wasnt fixed before.
