Usually it should come on and stay on. I wouldn't worry about it unless it comes back for good.

When the CEL comes on for a little while and they goes off, the problem that set the light is no longer present. It bears watching, but might be a one time thing. It would have set a code that will remain for a while so if you really care to know what may be acting up, you can pull the codes for future reference.
