Default CEL came on then went off

With the weather being sunny today decided to clean my car before it goes in to RASP tommorow for mods before re-map.
After cleaning it i decided to take it out for a little spin so turned the ignition on put my belt on and before i got to the end of the street stopped at the junction to turn right looked to see if my indicator was on and noticed the CEL on.
I turned the ignition off and restarted the car light went off and hasnt come on again, i know there's nothing to worry about was just wondering if it should be of concern or maybe just running a diagnostic any ideas.

Just do diag mate, see if it's stored any thing. Perhaps get RASP to sort it tomoz if it's still there. (the fault, not RASP)

I don't know mate. I would always check and see if it has stored the fault so i would have the car ready for the remap. If for example, it is the KS and the mapper doesn't have one available, then it could fudge the whole day for you! All for the sake of a 5min diagnostic check.

The code will be stored, get it checked before mapping as b13 says, it could screw up your whole day if it can't be rectified on the day.
