There's a problem with the car that the computer has detected. To find the problem a mechanic or auto parts store will connect a OBD-2 scan tool that plugs into a port under the dashboard. The scan tool will retrieve a trouble code that has a number and a description of the problem and possible solutions. These videos will help explain it in detail.
You have a problem with you car. Take it in and get it fixed It means you could have one of dozens of different problems with the performance and operation of your engine or engine components. Go to your local auto parts store, they can read the code for your for free. Check the owners manual. It will depend on the Explorers odometer reading. Usually just an oil change will suffice, but you will have to clear the light with a scanner. Nothing because it happens all the time. It could mean a multitude of things.

- Check engine light comes on when the weather gets cold So I have a 2004 Ford Taurus SE and I bought it around a year ago. Now, every time the weather gets below around 50 or so the Check Engine light will turn on. But when it warms up to 55+ it'll turn back off. I use the system check in the car with the buttons and it says everything's okay. It'll probably shut off in 2 or 3 days, just wondering what's going on and how to make it stop?

I'm going to a junkyard where they don't help with finding vehicles, so it would be helpful to know what vehicles only have a 302 with a 4bc, that way I can look it up on the website and know exactly where its at.
