Why is the engine light on in my Ford Mondeo?

I just bought a used Ford Mondeo and noticed that the engine light is on. Should I be concerned? What could be causing this? Any advice on what to do next?

It's possible that the previous owner didn't properly maintain the car and there could be some underlying issues causing the engine light to come on. I would suggest taking it to a trusted mechanic to get it checked out.

I had the same issue with my Ford Mondeo and it turned out to be a faulty sensor. You could try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes and then reconnecting it to see if that resets the light. If not, definitely get it checked out.

The engine light can come on for a variety of reasons, some more serious than others. It's always better to be safe than sorry, so I would recommend getting it diagnosed by a professional before it potentially leads to bigger problems.
