Default stubborn check engine light

For the past few days the check engine light has been on in my 2001 vert. This moring I pulled the codes in the DIC and surprise, no codes!!!
This check engine light has happened one other time when I did not screw the gas cap down, this is not the case this time. If the codes in the DIC are all cleared, does that clear check engine light? Thanks for any help in advance.

If the check engine light is on, there is a code in there. Carefully go through the code listing procedure again automatically or manually.
