The light comes on when an error is detected. If the error corrects itself or is intermittent, the light will go out after two or three starts.
I had this occasional CEL happen twice on my '02 9-5. The third time it came on in a month, I had the dealer check it out. They replaced a still functioning ignition cassette and the light never returned.
I wouldn't freak over a CEL that self corrects; but if it happens with any regularity, it's probably warning you that something is about to go amiss.
