same happened on mine. I disconnected the battery for 30 m ins then reconnected.
If the light re-appeared I was goign to get it on the diagnostic, but it didn't come back on.
I decided to put it on there anyway, and it showed nothing, so just a glitch.
I did clean out all of the sensors etc to be safe

If possible have the code readied, more likely it's the EGR valve problem.

This is a clean or replace the unit.
