steady light, ok to drive emission related, flashing light is bad!
Seriously though, you gave the most vague description ever and are asking to know what it is? Are you serious? Call your dealer, not the forum. You gave no code description. If the light is on there will be a code. Your "tuber" is junk or you don't know how to use it.

What makes you people think it's emissions related.. It could literally be anything at all.
And stop being a dick, people come to the forums to ask about their vehicles, he asked and he got an answer 10 posts ago, keep your rude unnecessary posts to yourself and stop ruining it for everyone. He got a CEL, tried to read it and couldn't and asked about it here first. There's no harm in that.
In the last couple years Ford has put out some really specific diagnostic trouble codes that most scanners won't read, so that's probably why you didn't pull a code with a generic code reader.

They also changed some in 2010, where the same DTC could be one thing in 2009 and something else entirely in 2010. I learned that the hard way with a couple hours of diagnosing the complete wrong thing because my Snap-on Ethos wasn't up to date yet, so if you're using an old scanner on a new vehicle it's possible that you won't have an accurate reading anyway.
