Check engine light question

I replaced my air filter a couple time this week, just trying to get a feel of the stock airbox, the P-Flow and the PRM intakes...well, I'm with the PRM right now, but I think on Tuesday, I forgot to plug the cable for the MAF back in.
Yesterday, Friday, I went over a huge bump! Shortly after that, the CE light lit up. I checked under the hood, and found the cable disconnected from the MAF...I think that was my fault. I plugged it back, but the light is still on. Does the light have to be reset from the factory, or is there something still wrong?
Help please!

It's going to retain the code. It should not hurt anything. The light should go out and everything back to normal after a certain number of ignition cycles.
Unless of course there is a real problem that magically appeared from the MAF....but very unlikely considering what you described

After a few days of driving the car, the CE light will go out. It just has to figure out that everything is OK. No worries.

if you know anyone with VAGCOM, they can reset the fault for you. your dealer can to...the ross-tech does it too. starting the engine about 15 times gets rid of the CE light, but like someone else said, it will be retained in its memory until cleared
