You can take your car auto parts place like autozone, hilow, etc, they should have a portable computer to attached to your car and it will give them a code for the reason of the check engine light is on. It could be something minor , but either way your best bet is to take it to a mechanic that you trust, that has the tools to identify the problem. Don't let it stay on to long or it could turn into a major problem.

How do you reset the check engine light on 1997 ranger?

Remove the battery cables for 5 minutes, should do it. Then the computer will reset and relearn after driving again. If a major fault was present before, it will return via the check engine light. If you need an inspection, then unhooking the battery for 5 minutes and driving maybe 20-40 miles and then going for inspection may do the trick. There is a small window where the check engine light hasn't come on yet and the IM monitors are mostly ready for inspection.....just before the check engine light comes on again. It will pass, in this window. But when the check engine light comes on again, it will not pass.

The check engine light coming on usually means that there is a problem in the emissions system. (including something as simple as your fuel cap being loose) If you take the car to Auto Zone, or Checker or any of the other major parts houses, they will read the computer codes for you at no charge. This will tell you what has failed or is being problematic.
