Default engine management

the engine management light came on today on my lads fiesta [2000, 1.25] and started flashing,it turned out to be the coil pack so i fitted a new one and it runs fine and the lights stopped flashing,however it is still lit up constantly,does this mean another fault? it drives fine now

yeah usually: management light comes on, fault code reader diagnoses the fault, fix fault, clear fault codes.

if the management light comes back on then there will be another fault but usually the initial fault code read should pick up all the faults in the system?

hth.
