Possibly, I think it's for about 20mins, some people say 2 hours so I'm not sure on the time. 
 
If you do, make sure you have your CD/tape/radio player etc code available as this will be reset. 
 
The car may also run funny after you first disconnect the battery and start it up - this is normal as most ECU's are self learning so it'll reprogramme it self.

If the light is constantly on then there is a fault with your car mate.Get a paperclip test done and then report back.Leave it long term and youll be fucking your car up!!
