Exclamation Check Engine Idiot Light

Idiot Light Came On Right After 100,000 Miles (100,210 To Be Exact) I Am In The Process Of Getting A New 2004 F150 And Using My Truck As A Trade In ...my Trade In Truck Is A 1998 F15o Lariat Fully Equipped ...
F150 Manual Says To Wait Till I Cycle Through 3 Tanks Of Gas To Be Sure Of Gas Not Having Water In It ...seems To Be Primarilly Connected With Emmissions System (good Ol' California ) Could This Be A Cue From The Computer? After 100,000 Miles The Light Automatically Goes On ??? Is There Anyway To Reboot The Signal Or Do I Have To Face Fords Diagnostic Feedback..i Don't Want To Take A Unrealized Penalty For Something That Could Be Automatic...

It could be any one of dozens of reasons. Put a code reader on it and find out why. Autozone will read it for free.
