First of all you need to read that code to find out what triggered it into coming on.

By any chance did you touch or tamper with the MAF diode?

I would start off by getting the code read!
If you or someone oyu know has a OBD II code reader can read it, most places do it now for free.

You needed to disconnect the battery B4 you installed the cold air kit, but all should be good now.
