check engine light V70-XC70 1998

hi
i washed my 1998 awd v70 today. i hosed the engine down since it was a little dirty. when i went to start the car it was running rough, wanting to stall and hesitating when i pressed on the gas pedal. the check engine light came on. i thought maybe some moisture had got into the engine or exhaust? so got it going and drove it for about 10 minutes. now its running fine again but the check engine light is still on. can anyone help?
thanks,
maco

    I had the same problem (1998 V70 T5) about a week ago. After gunking the engine I took the car out for a ride and it was still a little wet. The light went off on its own after about 2 days.

    If you want to clear the CEL then disconnect your battery for about 15 minutes. If you curious what the code is, get it scanned and reset but it may cost you $40 unless you have a friendly garage that is going to do for free.
    Good luck.
