That is what the check engine light is for. It informs you of a failure.
A check engine light means that a malfunction has been detected with the emission control system - if the check engine light does not go out ( sometimes the problem corrects itself and the light goes out ) have the Ranger scanned for trouble codes in order to diagnose and then repair the malfunction
A flashing check engine light is an indication of a severe engine misfire.
The check engine light comes on when a malfunction with the emission control system has been detected - if the light stays on ( and doesn't correct itself ) have the Ranger scanned for trouble codes to diagnose and then repair the malfunction

The check engine light comes on and stays on when a problem is detected by the self diagnosis system of your vehicle. Generally, a check engine light is lit when there is a problem in the emissions or somthing that is affecting the effectiveness of the emissions.
If it has a downstream O2 sensor the check engine light will come on but if it does not the light may not come out. In most instances it will set the check engine light.
That would be the check engine light.
