Check engine light- Displays at regular intervals?

Hello all,

My 2004 v10 Superduty had the check engine light come on a few days ago at 29,334 miles. Will the truck display this light near regular maintenance intervals such as 30,000/60,000/90,000 even without a maintenance problem?
There is no known performance issue with the truck and have checked the gas cap and run the truck on three separate days without the light going back out. Any info would be appreciated!

The check engine will not display at maintenance intervals. Check engine lights signifiy a problem with the emissions control devices of the engine only. The do illuminate when the engine/powertrain has a problem simply because it effect emissions. The light is not allowed to light for maintenance by law.

What he said, plus you need to get it scanned to see what is tripping the light. Some autozones will scan for free, unless you have a diesel.
