In your profile it says you have a 2nd gen. So unless you've acquired a 3rd gen and not updated that you should probably ask this in the 2nd gen forum.

The ecu should still be storing the code, whether the light is lit or not. Use one of the procedures for checking stored codes to see which one it is.
