      Failed Smog Aveo 2006

      My sister recently took her 2006 Aveo to get the smog check and the tech failed it because the Check Engine light does not come on. I checked fuses and there is no abnormalities. The light does not come on when I turn the key. I am hoping it is a blown bulb.
      -Does any one know how to get access to the engine light bulb?

      how do they know it doesn't come on? Shouldn't it pass if it is off and there is no code?

      Is the instrument cluster the dashboard?

      I am assuming they did not test it since the light did not come on.

      then how do they know it doesn't come on? if they plug in whatever scanner they have an no codes come up they shouldn't be going through the instrument cluster checking to see if the light works or not. Idk what kind of ****ed up **** you have in california other than your lack of water but damn

      The light does not come on as it should when I turn the key. I am assuming the shop did not bother to go further past this.
      Before anything, I want to see if the bulb is blown. Then, replace it if it is blow.
