When I installed my Airaid I got a CEL, but it was because I hadnt disconnected the battery. Once I did a disconnect/reconnect it went away.

Just pull the PCM fuse. Why disconnect the battery and lose your radio presets, etc why all you have to do is pull one fuse?

Don't bother. It will go away on it's own once the pcm learns the new air flow. Give it a day or so and you'll be fine.
