Welcome to FTE. The light means there is a code stored in your PCM. Depending on what year truck and which motor you have, you might be able to get the code scanned for free.
With no other symptoms to go by, you'll need to get the codes read to figure out what the issue is.

Then you've got to find someone with a good scanner. The inexpensive ones available at the parts stores won't read most of the codes in a diesel. You might try to swing by a parts store and have them do the free scan to see if you get lucky. I think the cheap scanners can pick up emissions codes like from the GPCM.
If you don't know someone with a good scanner, you might need to take it to a independent diesel shop or the Ford dealer to get the codes read.
