To reset the check engine light on a 2000 Ford F-150, you can disconnect the negative battery terminal and leave it off for about 15 minutes. This will clear the vehicle's computer memory and reset the light. Alternatively, you can use an OBD-II scanner to erase the trouble codes directly. However, make sure to address any underlying issues that triggered the light before resetting it.
