If it is installed, you will have to remove the knee bolster panel under the dash on the passenger side. under the dash by the passengers right knee is where you will find the ECM if it hasn't been previously removed.

light driver

There is a light driver module used to turn on the "Check engine" light. The ECM triggers it negative to ground and it turns the light on with its power. (small box with a slide out board in it).
It will be behind the glovebox, look above the inside top for it.
Or the bulb may just be burned out.
