Default Bad plug

Guys, I had a plug that was bad and it turned the check engine light on. I replaced the plug and it seems to have solved the missing, but the light is still on. Do I need to have the code cleared?

Thanks!

Yes, you need to have it cleared. It would eventually go off, but could take a while, and will always have a stored history code until it's erased.
