Get an OBD-II scanner and erase the code. Do you have access to a scanner? Looks like this:
Obd-II - Harbor Freight Tools

Are you in the US? Parts stores here like Autozone will have them available for you to borrow to check the codes and erase them for free.

Oh, misunderstood you. Are you sure it's fixed then? You might try disconnecting the battery for 10 or 15 minutes to see if that resets anything. Just a guess.

I feel for you. I'm having interior lighting issues and can't seem to find what's common to the system.

Here's a bump ttt.
