Two things

1. The light came on due to you doing something wrong. Most likely you failed to re-connect wires to the air sensor or worse, damaged it.
2. Once you correct the issue you can clear with a tuner, a visit to Autozone (they have scanners) or by disconnecting your battery. If you do the battery thing pull your radio fuse first.

I can't believe that I damaged it I removed it as carefully as I possibly could. It looks the same as it did I the stock intake hose and I lubricated the grommet on the new hose slightly with soap and water and it slid right in. As far as connecting the air sensor I did hook it up with the provided harness extention. Is there a right and wrong way to attach it? I believe both ends connected the way they should.

Disconnect the battery for 1/2 hour then reconnect.
