Just buy the adapter and install forscan on your computer. Give you more options/features than a code reader. A decent adapter is $40-$80 and forscan is free. Plus, you get to learn a new skill. Win, win. lol.

Despite the CEL turning off, the ECU may have stored the code(s).

Best of luck today!

So some "blah blah blah" valve was sticking, it appears. It was something I had never heard of before.
