If the problem was correctly fixed by a mechanic or yourself the check engine light should go out after a few cycles (on/off of running). A mechanic usually shuts the light off with diagnosis tools after the work is completed to check that it does not come on again due to the same error as there is no way to permanently shut the light off. If it is still on the repair done may not have been needed or there are more issues that need attention.
