    Default Started car with maf sensor unplugged, contact dealer warning?

    Ok so being ultra smart I forgot to plug the maf sensor back in after removing the otr to clean it out of the car and wound up starting the car without the maf plugged in afte rI put it back together. Ran rough and then the contact dealer warning popped up and it clicked what I had done, plugged it back in and it seems to be running fine but the contact dealer warning is still coming up.

    Will I have damaged something or is the warning staying on the dash untill it gets reset?

    Most dtc's that come up for the ecumenical can be cleared by cycling the ignition on and off 3 times.
