Default Check Engine Light

My C5 Coupe sat too long w/o being driven and that ran the Optima down. I charged it back up and started the car. Now the check engine light is on and won't go off. No codes are being thrown. Any ideas what is wrong? Thanks in advance.

Has to be a code. How did you check for codes?

There was no codes. I checked for codes holding the option button and pressing the fuel button 4 times. All history codes. However I turned off the engine and restarted 1/2 hour later and the check engine light went off! Its been fine since! Thanks anyway!
