Possibly a loose gas cap. Make sure it's on properly, and doesn't leak. Then, drive it for a couple of driving cycles, and the light should go out.

You gotta twist it until it clicks.

CEL issues are a bit misleading, because even though they do not "set" a trouble code in memory, they do take a bit of time to clear - such as a problem with a loose gas cap. Even knowing where the problem was, and correcting it immediately, it took nearly two weeks for the light to clear on my L200 ...
