If the light is still on, something is still needs fixing.

Oh, disconnect power from the PCM, wait a minute, plug it back in. If it's easier, you can disconnect the battery instead. Codes will be cleared. Light will still come on if the problem hasn't been fixed.

How much did they charge you to read the code? Did you get your money's worth? Were they jerks when they did the scan for free?
