Check engine light comes on after being deleted, before even starting

Left negative battery cable off for almost 24 hours with EFI fuse pulled and as soon as I put the key in and turned key to ON position (not cranking) the check engine light came on.
I thought OBD1 should not store code/s until it runs for a while. Is this correct?

I'm pretty sure the CEL, Battery, and Oil Pressure lights are always on when you have the key turned to On with the engine off.

Also there is no need to have the battery cable and EFI fuse out for that long.
30-45 seconds tops and it deletes all codes.
is your best friend when it comes to questions like these.
