My Check Engine Light (MIL) does not come on when I turn the key on (test cycle). Does this mean that the Instrument Cluster circuit board is bad? The manual says this light is a LED that is part of the circuit board and I assume the light test function is also part of the circuit board. Does anybody have any experience with this? I can't pass inspection because it sees this light failure.

 

on my 99 its just a bulb with a socket. most likely ur bulb is burnt out. pull the cluster out and check it

 

If you hold the trip button while you turn on the key your gauges will go through a full test cycle.Try that and if it still doesn't illuminate then I would say the bulb is just burnt out.
