Default Could bad axles cause the check engine light to come on??

I have needed to change mine for a long time, and now I hear the sqeak and clunck around turns, just went for a smog yesterday and not the lights on. I was hoping the old guy who checked it did not pull a wire or something.
Car runs fine though. If you guys think the axle cant activate it I'lll find a local mech to pull codes and tell me,
Thanks

no a bad axle cannot give a CEL. but if you have ABS it might activate the sensor.

Thank you so much guys, so if I have abs ( which I do ) then a bad axle could activate the cell, right?

No.

Bad axels won't cause a cel light unless they snap off and take out some sensors under the hood.
