Replaced o2 sensor--Check engine light supposed to go off?

Hey guys,

Just replaced my o2 sensor. I did this whole process while the battery was connected. I used a universal one and spliced all the wires into the originals. I've done this whole process before but I can't remember if I kept the battery connected...
When I turned on the car the light was still on and I could've sworn it went off immediately after I replaced my last o2 sensor.


My questions: Is the light supposed to go off on its own? If it didn't immediately turn off is there something wrong? Do I need to get it reset and it will be fine?

it wont go off immediately but should go off within 30 miles or so of driving. The ECU operates in cycles. Or reset the ecu with the screw too.
