Default 98 Civic DX - check engine light is not coming on

My check engine light is not coming on. I have checked the bulb in the back of the cluster and it's fine.

I know my check engine light is suppose to be on because when I go to plug up the code reader device, I get several codes as if my engine light were on.
Can anybody help me out ?

I'm assuming this is on a Pontiac Sunfire right?


Please put car information in thread and read the faq.

No one can help you if we don't know what car you have, engine, mods, etc

Oil pressure is the one next to the battery indicator, if yes, then yes, I haven't seen it come on, but the oil pressure light does come on when I turn the key once

Ron wants to know how because just looking at the bulb us no good.

Swap a known good bulb in it's place and inspect the bulb socket for damage

Youre pissing me off.
I have replaced the bulb already, still not working
What else do you need to know?
The bulb isn't broke
I would know if it was broke
