Default Engine warning light

Wonder if anyone can help , ive just had an engine check light come on as I start the car it flashes 3 times and then stays on . I noticed this after accidently leaving the ignition on for about 2 hours with out the motor running (I turned it on to wind up the windows prior to cleaning the car) but I have a link ecu that manages w/m injection , als , ect .
any one know what this is and how to clear it .

Have you got PCLink??

You can set up the CE light to do whatever you like. Some may want it to function as a normal CE lamp, some use it for a shift lamp, or overboost warning etc. Going off your username I'm going to assume you have one of the skyline plug-in ECU's? In our GTS/GTR base map the CE lamp is set up by default as an over temp/over boost alarm, it comes on at ECT above 102°C or MAP above 230KPa. You can change these thresholds to whatever you deem safe for your engine or you can change its function to just do typical CE light functions if you wish.

Yes indeed , I looked at it this morning before work and found the relevant icons and it said do you really want to delete this, and it placed doubt in my mind considering I have no tech skills and do I really need to messing around with the ecu
