I just checked on the web. This codes means you will not damage anything. You should erase the codes before driving, and see which one comes again.

YES.
Dont disconnect the battery to clear codes unless you read them out first.
And then if you have a diagnostic tool hooked to it to read the codes, you can just clear them.

I didnt want to drive with the CEL on so thats why i disconnected the battery to see if it would clear, i didnt have my diagnostic tool with me and now i cant get the code back to see what the problem was, i have been driving all day today and about 100 miles lats night and a CEL has'nt came back on and the car is running great, what would you do if you could'nt get the code back?

I'm not sure about that. You should drive until you get the CEL and read the codes again.

Thats the plan :D

Nothing, it may be a false detection. But you have probably not met the same driving conditions. It will come back if it needs to. To activate a diagnosis you have to meet the conditions that are calibrated for this specific diagnosis. They are different for each diagnosis. For something that set the CEL but are not too bad, you may have to drive 3 driving cycles (From cold start to warm) before it pop up the CEL. The car manufacturer don't want to make a false detection.

Its was on the motorway with crusie control at about 75 MPH, If it dosent return would you just not worry to much about it?

Thnaks again and sorry for all the questions

Yes, no worry. If there's something wrong, the OBD will tell you.
