did cai mod and got engine light

I added a aem cai yesterday and took the car for a spin, and the check engine light came on. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and if so how did you get rid of it? I went about ten blocks before it came on. I relocated the sensor which is the only thing i could possibly think set it off. 2007 5at type s bythe way.

i noticed on the 07 type s that the sensor is further back on the intake manifold then the 04-06's i'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. I tried unplugging the battery last night, I only left it unplugged for a couple of mins. I'm wondering if i need to leave it unplugged longer? I don't know what else would have caused it since that's the only sensor.

When I did any mods to my car I made sure the battery was unplugged for at least 30 min. Not sure if this is the right way but that ensured that everything reset.

i feel like a dumb ass. I found the prob i forgot i unplugged some kind of sensor so i could get at the breather hose a little easier on the back of the manifold. All is good now. thanks for the help.
