I've been driving with my CEL on for a few weeks now. (P0104 - EGR Insufficient Flow). It went off yesterday. I thought you had to reset or disconnect the battery to turn them off. What's the scoop?

Search function would be useful in this case. P0104 is common with the 80's, there's a full write up on here.
Yes, I know about the code and the [possible] fixes. That's not the question. The question is: can the CEL go OFF by itself? I didn't know it could do that?
 
It does go off by itself, but I guarantee you it is still there.

Mine turns off after a while also, but my OBD2 reader says its still there.:D
 
P0401 is "EGR flow insufficient" (Don't know what a P0104 is...)

Yes. The P0401 is a 2-trip logic. My taco is in the O2 sensor MIL now. Comes and goes. It is inevitable that I will need to replace the O2 sensors soon though.

Not the first time I’ve had a bit of dyslexia.

I kinda gathered that the problem wouldn’t heal itself. I eventually need to do something about it. Just surprised me when the light went out. I assume it’ll come back on at some point.

Thanks fellas!
