Not as long as the computer detects a problem
Just to mess with you.
There are pages and pages of things that can cause a check engine light. You need to have it checked with a scantool. Then the code can be diagnosed and repaired.
Engine light has it's own separate gauge, for oil pressure. The oil light will come in emergencies not the check engine light. If you put in correct amount of oil, run engine and check oil level. If it's OK, than light will go out by itself.

Assuming you want to clear/reset the check engine light, if you have successfully made repairs to correct what was the cause of the check engine light to go on the light will clear itself after a few drive cycles.
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
No, the check engine light will not shut itself off. It needs to be turned off by a mechanic. If it is on when u go to inspection, your car will not pass The light could go off on its own if the problem fixed itself and there is anough time for it to pass it's selftests enough time. The above answer is incorrect. If the computer in the car does not detect the problem which caused the check engine light to illuminate in the first place after a certain amount of cycles the light will turn off and you will be able to pass emissions. Case in point: My '96 Cougar set the check engine light due to some emissions components failing. Specifically, the purge flow sensor. I replaced the part and did not reset the computer. After about 3 days worth of drive cycles the light turned off by itself.
why does my check engine light stay on and want go off
