Your light can go on with a simple thing like the gas cap is defective or it was not tightened until it clicks a couple of times at fill-up. I had this happen with my Maxima, it came on once, the dealer reset it and it never came on again.

Oh, Dinoone, did you get my pm the other day, have you had any success anywhere with your long awaited parts?

CEL lites are usually for emissions stuff. Perhaps gas cap was loose. This will give you a CEL lite. Code will clear itself if condition is gone after so many engine starts.

It has happened to a few, but if it doesn't prompt a code in the ECU, then the problem cleared itself and wasn't serious. No worries.
