If you mean the code is P0117 then - Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor 1 Circuit Low
Otherwise look up the description here: http://www.dtcsearch.com/

yep thats the code i have found and the thats what ive been told it is, i thought that once the code has been logged then you would have to reset the light but if it is a loose connection and is now ok that would explain the light going off.

Cheers!

I had an st170 for a couple of years and the ECU lights are forever coming on, not sure why it just seems to be a common fault with them. Get your self a fault code reset gadget off ebay. Well worth the 30 quid.
