After installing CAI i get CHECK ENGINE Light What should I do?

I think i installed all of the hoses properly. THere were three hoses which i attached to the piece right before the MAF. However, there was one harness that used to connect to a lower part that connect to the lower part of the air dam which I did not connect. WHere is this supposed to go? I'm thinking this is why i get that chk engine light

Pull the code for the CEL. CAI may not be secured properly. The sensor on the lower air dam will not throw a CEL but there is a sensor which plugs into a hole on the right hand side of the CAI that will need to be plugged in.

Code will tell you what is wrong. I suggest you pull it and then post again with the code.
