Bulb might have went out. Gonna have to open up the dash and take a look at it.

someone might have taken out the bulb before selling it to you... a car will sell easier without the engine light on ..

did he get a code and the light wasnt on or is he trying to turn it on.
if he is trying to turn it on then the guy is about rip you off. he might pull a second tranny for better gas mileage. beware

he said he pulled a tranny code but the light wasnt turnin on. and no it's just blown, cuz it used to come on when the engine mounts broke. so now i get to rip the whole dash out and replace it.
