CEL not on

Ok I get my car and the CEL was on. got it scaned and it was a EGR valve. since it was winter I wasnt feeling like cleaning it in a -45 weather so i just let it be. so the CEL light was on the whole winter. now since its not that cold anymore I wanna clean it. Well this morning I am starting my car and the CEL light isnt on any more. now I dont know whats going on. I cant feel the change in performance or anything weird happening but I dont know what I should do. please advise?

thanks thats what I was gonna do but now I am wondering as to why is the CEL off out of nowhere after 4 months of driving with it on? do you think if I went to get the code read again it would throw the EGR valve code?

Just clean it. They dont clean themselves. Reset your ECU afterwards as well
