Self clearing Check Engine light 850

My check engine (Lambda sensor) light has been on in my 1996 850 T wagon (72,000 kilometers) for about 2 weeks. The shop diagnosed it as the front oxygen sensor. I replaced it on the weekend with a Bosch Universal sensor, and the difference in performance was huge! I've got an appointment on Thursday to get the light reset, but today I went out to start the car at lunch and the light was off! The only difference was that I had my cell phone charger plugged in the cigarette lighter this morning! Has anyone ever had this happen? Maybe it's short-lived. I'll probably still get it checked Thursday, but I thought these lights can only be resest with a computer.
Thanks in advance.
