You can turn the "Check Engine" light off on a Ford by disconnecting the battery for > 5 minutes.
But the question is why are you turning it off?
Have you repaired the cause of the light to be on?
Or are you doe for a smog inspection, and the light will cause a failure?
Keep in mind if this is the motivation, even with the light out, it may still fail if the monitors haven't been run to "ready" status.
For more information, E-mail me.

By finding out why it's on and fixing it. Spend $70 for an OBDII scanner and you'll be able to read and reset codes on any car in the last 11 years. Your friends will all think you're a genius.
