Default vsc light after changing HID bulbs

hey guys i had to take off the air filter box on the passenger side while changing the bulb, so i think its the MAF plug that I had to unplug. putting everything back, now I got the vsc, CEL light. how can i get rid of it? or will it go away after a few cycles/miles?

Have you tried disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery and reconnecting it to see if the VSC warning goes away?

One time I took down the airbox and unplugged the MAF sensor to clean the airbox; I had a VSC and Check Engine light come up after putting everything back together. I immediately shut the car off, opened the hood, and unplugged and replugged in the MAF sensor and fired it up again without any additional problems or lights. I'm always cautious about plugging in my MAF sensor, making sure it's secure before I shut the hood after that incident.
