Exclamation Emissions Light came on??????

So I start my truck this morning to head to work and I noticed that my emissions light was on. I was going to stop by like Discount Auto today after work to try and get a computer reading as to what error code was being thrown. Should I be worried or skeptical about driving? I drive roughly 50 miles one way to work so just want to know if this is something that needs to be dealt with asap? Any info would be great.

Thanks in advance,
DN

Keep driving, but get the code A.S.A.P and post it here, also note what engine, year of truck, and what, if any, mods you have.

Save all the running around and just take it to the dealer, it's a warranty repair.

Where in Fl are you? If you are near Mount Dora, bring it to me and I'll personally check it out. That's what I do at Prestige Ford.

I live over in Melbourne, Vero Beach area but travel to Gainesville frequently. Thanks for the offer though xtrm1stang. The problem with going to Ford is that I work from 730am till 530pm everyday. I figure I might take some personal bussiness and get it looked at.

The only modification (if you want to call it that) was that I put Seafoam in it like 2 weeks ago because my gas mileage was crappy. It got alot better and then I came home this weekend and found the light on. I filled up at a gas station that I normally don't so maybe it's just bad fuel?

I will get it looked at and post the code up here for further information. Thanks for the help.

the seafoam may have damaged the o2 sensors, don't mention it to the dealer so they can't say you caused them to fail. some dealers will do that
