I might have made a mistake here…. So today I put my 2018 FJR on the center stand, ran the engine and let it run in high gear for a few minutes to warm up the differential oil before changing it. I would have just took the bike for a ride but it was raining pretty heavy. I saw the traction control light come on which wasn’t surprising, but then the check engine light came on. After turning the bike off and doing the diff service and oil change I turned the engine back on, left it in neutral, and the check engine light is still on. Did I mess up? Can I clear the CEL without a scanner?
 
Typically that would turn an abs light on. Just take it for a ride.
 
i seem to remember my 2018 doing that, leaving the engine light "hanging", only cleared by my dealer. As Oldjeep suggests, may clear after a ride. Will do no harm riding it, so long as no other errors show up.
