Engine wait light

Every now and then the engine wait light stays on when the truck is running.
Is this a computer error or do I have a glow plug going out?
It has done this about 3 times in the last 2 months.
If you turn off the engine and then restart it after the light goes out it stays off.
Anyone ever have this issue.
Thanks, Scott - '02 F250 7.3 4x4 lariat

My "wait to start" light was intermittent for about a week last month. I thought the bulb had blown at first. Then it started working occasionally. Now it works every time. I tried pulling codes with my Predator but there were none.

What do you mean by resetting the computer? Is is like any other vehicle (disconnect the battery for 15 minutes)?
