Check Engine Went off - do codes get erased

Check Engine Went off - do codes get erased
My '99 had a check engine light on. Since it is still under warranty,
I let it stay that way for the dealer to check it at an appointment
(tomorrow). The light has now gone off on it's own, after about
7 days and probably 30 engine starts. Will the error codes still be
in the computer ? Or did they reset when it shut the
light off ?
I really don't want to waste the time or money at the stealer if
the codes are no longer stored. I'm sure that they'll charge me to
poke around for an hour, then declare "nothing found. I'll spend
over an hour dropping the car off with drive time, and another hour picking it up. So, if the codes are gone, I'd prefer to skip the
visit to the stealer.
Thanks for any info,
Bob

That is a good thing. A buddy of mine put his intake off of his 300ztt and put it on my car, thus causing the engine light to come on. Thankfully his dad works a nissan parts garage. He told me that after about 100 starts the ecu will reset itself. I hope this helps you!
