EGR Code suddenly gone?

I have a 2004 F350 6.0 that I bought that had the EGR deleted. As a result of that, the p0404 code was always triggering the CEL. I could reset the code, but it would come back on a mile or two down the road once the driving starts. Recently, the batteries died, as far as I can tell from some draw from the brake controller and not being driven enough.

I have since had the batteries charged and put back in and it runs perfect. Except, that code is no longer being thrown. Why would that code no longer come up? I didn't replace the EGR, it's still gone. Could there still be additional electrical issues?

Does your CEL lamp light up when you turn the key to the wait to start position? If not, maybe the bulb is out?

You'll probably get it back after a few drive cycles.
