Is this an Ecoboom?

Yup depends.

The Mrs asked if I could do it.

I don't have a particularly good Ford diagnostic tool.

If you can find what sensor it is, sometimes you can either manually close/open the circuit, or some aftermarket devices off eBay etc to fool them but meh, we got on with them, but I'm not that bothered, it's not really my responsibility, it's also a bit naughty.

You can clear a check engine light with even the cheapest ebay scan tool, you only need a decent diagnostic tool to do more advanced stuff.

So, reading this whole thread - they've not actually put it on a code reader? So no-one actually has the faintest idea what the check engine light even means at this point?

Yep, get a ELM327 bluetooth scanner and the Torque Pro app. It'll give you the reason for the engine management light.
