Default CEL from working on throttle body

sup everyone. A while back, the screw that pushes up the thing that opens and closes the butterfly valve for the throttle body, fell off. everytime Id let off the gas, it has a chance of being stuck when trying to gas again. like it just wont go down. so I just got a new screw from my neighbor and decided to put it in today. Well the only way i could screw it in was taking off the whole assembly thing, (the spring n such). so after i got it in, i adjsuted the screw so it lifted the throttle a little. after turning on my car, i noticed i got a nice shiny CEL. Im wondering what could have caused it. I haven't checked what the CEL means but im just wondering about the possibilities. thanks.

Could it be code 7? If so just adjust your TPS....

What does this mean? You raised the idle by tightening the throttle cable? That could throw a CEL.
