2001 escort service engine soon light is on

my service engine light is on i was trying to find out what all can be causing it to come on

Is it a service interval light or MIL light? If the latter then your best bet is to take it to a garage and have it plugged in. This should show the stored fault codes which can be cross referenced to the faults.
