Default Check Engine light comes on after jacking

When I jack up my MY00 turbo to do work after lowering it and when driving for a few days afterwards I get the Check Engine warning light come on. It only lasts a few moments then goes off. The car seems fine and after a few days it stops doing it. Any idea why this happens?

I suggest it's the motion of the car rocking on its suspension that's causing that.

Whoer missus.

I'd try putting it another way, but likely to get the same response.

Code reading last time it happened showed no faults. It came on for a few seconds this morning on the drive to work, but was clear for the 20 mile drive home.
