If the fault has been cured, should go off.

20 clean starts: turn ignition on, not need to get engine turning over, but let the self check sequence work, repeat.  Maybe 30 times - I can never remember

If the fault has been fixed, the EML will go out straight away but, if you checked for the codes, the fault code would still appear because it gets stored in the ECU until it's either cleared with a code reader or you've made 20/30 'clean' starts  ;)  ;) :y

Clean starts needed. Ign on not enough.
