What does the Ford Focus engine light mean?

I recently purchased a Ford Focus and the engine light has turned on. What could be the possible reasons for this and how can I fix it?

The engine light can indicate a variety of issues such as a loose gas cap, faulty spark plugs, or a sensor malfunction. It's important to get a diagnostic test done to determine the exact cause.

If the engine light is flashing, it means there is a serious problem that requires immediate attention. Don't ignore it and get your car checked as soon as possible.

Check your owner's manual to see if there is a specific reset procedure for the engine light. If not, take your car to a mechanic to get it checked and fixed.
