CEL Flashing on Reset

So whenever I reset my battery my CEL flashes for like a minute then goes away. I'm pretty sure one of my tuners put this on a while back but I can't figure out why it's doing this or what it really means. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

you can probably get your tuner to update to the newest version of TephraMods which will fix it

Pretty sure my tuner Tobz has the newest version, I have my car retuned by him on a monthly basis. The CEL light tune was from an earlier tuner I used, so we're scatchin our heads on what it is...
