When the Check Engine Light (CEL) comes on, it usually indicates that the computer detected something wrong in the system. Before resetting the light, you should retrieve the code(s) to see what was detected. If everything seems to be fine as you indicate, you can reset the light by disconnecting the negative cable from the battery for a couple of minutes and then reconnect it. Only problem is that by doing this, you will be erasing any codes that may be stored in the computer's memory. However, if you choose to reset it, the CEL will turn back on whenever the computer detects the problem(s) again.
