Default '05 Heritage Engine Question..

I posted this on the Softail thread but no answer...

I have a '05 Heritage FLSTCI and have been noticing what hopefully, isn't a big problem. For the last couple weeks when I first start up the Heritage and let her warm up I notice that the engine light will come back on for say a second or two and then go out again. It doesn't do it when riding...just at a initial start up.

I do wait for the engine light to go off at first before starting the bike which I was told to do (I am a newbie) but not sure why the engine light would come on after I start it up and then the light goes out again.
