Service Engine light after changing coils

I changed my spark plugs, ignition coils, radiator fan motor, and thermostat today and now when i crank my car, i check my SES light on. Is this normal? I have my battery unplugged over night to see if it clears the code. If not, what could it be? Thanks

pull the code. its very difficult to determine whats throwing the code unless you are experiencing something out of the ordinary. go to autozone if you have one close by for free diagnostic, if not then you will have to take it to a shop/dealer. if i were you, i would want to know what was wrong before i tried to clear it.
