Not necessarily. I have actually seen it go both ways. I've seen some engine lights come off, but other times it needed to be cleared. Hopefully it will turn off automatically, But if it does not, before you clear the code, make sure the O2 sensor was bad, and not something else. O2 sensor checks many things, so if PCM says its bad, it might be because of an exhaust leak or something else.
Good luck!
