Default Engine light after oil change today

made a school boy error today after changing my oil & filter, I unplugged the sensor above the TCT so I didnt damage it when I removed the filter. Forgot to plug it back in when I was idling the car on the drive to warm it up and circulate the new oil.

I noticed the engine light after about 10 mins when I got in to drive off, I knew what I had done I switched it off and plugged it back in.

The light is on now, I have access to a snap on machine but it will take a couple of days to get access to it.

Shouldnt cause a problem driving it with it on for a couple of days will it?

No, won't be a problem, and may well go off of its own accord after driving some miles

could try disconnecting the battery for over an hour as that may reset it,

if you have a radio code make sure you have it writen down as you will need it.

Isn't there a fuse that you can pull out to reset it?

I think it's one of the 2 larger pink ones just disconnect for a minute or 2. Just make sure you've got the radio code.
