The check engine light is located in the message center right above the instrument cluster. To remove it you will need to jest remove the a pillar trim. Those are the plastic pieces that run from the ceiling down to the dash on both sides. Then you will need to remove the upper dash pannel. It is held in by clips. Gently pry up and it will start to release the clips. Once the upper dash panel is out you will see the screws that hold the message center in place. Remove the screws, remove the message center, and replace the bulbs.
Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

JEREMY IS CORRECT, IN ALL ASPECTS HE QUOTED, IF YOU CAN REMOVE THE MESSAGE CENTER, USUALLY ON THE BACK OF THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD OF TEMPLATE IS THE INFO. FOR THE BULB THAT WILL LIGHT UP "CHECK ENGINE" OR "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LAMP. REMOVE ONE AND SHINE A SMALL FLASHLIGHT , THEN LOOK AT THE FRONT OF DISPLAY IT WILL TELL YOU WHICH ONE IT IS.
Sounds like Jeremy really knows your model...Where do you live that the check engine light is on an inspection checklist?
When states have a vehicle inspection part of that inspection is tailpipe emissions. If your check engine light is on you fail instantly. In order to prevent people from removing the bulb and "cheating" the system the bulb must illuminate during the bulb check. If it does not, you fail instantly.
Again Jeremy sounds helpful...it seems that a true test of tail pipe emissions would be the best measurement...:)

Of course it's in the dash display somewhere.Shine a light onn the dash and see if you can make it out?
Pulling the dashboard can be difficult or pretty easy........a shop manual would be a good 25 dollar investment if you are wanting to replace this light yourself. don-ohio
Hi, Yes, get a manual it is a very good investment. I have one for my pick-up. Haynes manuals are good also chilton manuals. It also give you pease of mind knowing you can do it. Good luck.
Owner manual will tell you under instrument cluster warning lights.

And it does not have info for replacing instrument cluster bulbs!
