Default SES light after C&L install

I put a C&L CAI on my GT last night and it threw a SES light. The MAF is in the right way, and everything else is hooked up right. The car runs fine. What can I do to get rid of this light?

did you also flash the engine with a new tune? the light is due to too much airflow.....the C+L CAI needs a new tune.....otherwise your stock PCM will throw codes because of your airflow past the MAF....

That is correct if you failed to also purchase a Tune for the C&L then you will need to remove the C&L until you get a tune.

+1 to the posts above. I took my tune off to take to the dealer but left the C&L on and the light came on on the way back from the dealer. Loaded the tune again and all was fine.
