Default CEL came on right after fill-up, any way to self- reset?

I checked gas cap & it was tight? Will the light eventually reset itself, or do I need to have a dealer reset?

It will go away on its own. If it does not in few days, go to the dealer.

Same thing happened to me dmac. When I took it to the dealer the error code was the charge pressure that affects boost, which they say is sporadic, so they couldn't reproduce the issue. They just cleared the code and reset settings. As long as your car isn't in limp mode you should be ok. That happened to me.

The CEL actually came back a couple days ago, but the car isn't in limp. I'll have to go back eventually.

Default Following up my original post..CEL light went out 24 hr later....

probably 4 trips later, the CEL light has gone out. Peace of Mind has returned. Thanks for the responses. At some point, I'll have someone check for the fault code.
