check engine soon warning

2001 F150 4.6L 14K miles
Check engine light is on. What can I check outside of leaving it at the dealer? Truck never been offroad, in dirt or mistreated.

You can search on CEL or Check Engine Light and see a plethora of ideas, click on the search button above and you will be on your way...

Make sure your gas cap is clicked on tightly. That made mine go off. That was 20,000 miles ago.

Well I disconnected my battery and hooked it back up. This got rid of the "check engine" warning, and it has yet to return. I don't plan on taking it back to the dealer unless light reappears.
