Default Check engine light when cold.

The other day I start my car after work and without warming it up I take off. A few minutes later the check engine light comes on. It has happened one other time and I reset the ecu and it went away untill now. I took it to Acura a few months ago and they told me that my cat took longer than normal to completely heat up. I was wondering if the check engine light came on because my cat wasnt fully warm before I started driving? Does this sound right and if not what could be?

Not sure because I am at work right now. The question I have though is how do you check the code?
