If there is nothing obvious wrong then there's no point speculating. If you don't have a code scanner just take the car to Autozone or similar and pull the code. Then there's no doubt.

Check your install and make sure everything is connected properly. If so, re install your stock air cleaner assy and disconnect the battery for 10 mins or so to clear the memory, then reconnect it and drive it again and see if the light is related.

Did the same thing to my 2008 ls3. Light came on a couple weeks after install. Onstar said it was the bank 2 oxygen sensor stuck lean. Had an appt with the dealer and it just went away. Didnt touch a thing. Hope it doesn't come back again
