Did it come on earlier?or never since your ownership?, Probably bulb, a test would be to hook up a scanner and retrieve info, if you can, bulb is done

Did it just stop working on a car you've owned or did it never work a car you purchased?
It's (unfortunately) not beneath SOME shops to defeat the bulb to mask an issue either to sell the car or prevent a comeback.

Thanks for your reply. The check engine light was working, but after I try to find the ecu relay, it stop lighting. I am checking voltage drop at every point on the relay and the ecu. I don't have the ecu grounded and I don't know if this is the issue. According to the car electrical diagram (1996 Mitsubishi montero 3.0 l 12 valves) the ecu has two ground pins (#13 and #26). I checked these pins and there are no voltage drop. I wonder if the ecu case has to be grounded as well.
