Are you dumb? Smog techs are supposed to look for a working "Check engine" light so that the engine is working properly. If they see a check engine light that is not working, they would ask that the repair(s) be done prior to smogging.

You cannot smog a car that has a check engine light on; it's the law. Smog techs that overlook this either don't care (lenient/shady), or not trained properly.

To fix it you have to pull the gauge cluster and replace the bulb.

Okay... I'm now having this EXACT problem. Pulled the damn dash apart, and the bulb was fine. Swapped it out with another bulb, and it worked.

Trying to pass smog, and CE light doesn't come on. EVER. Car runs fine though...

Need urgent help!!!!
