check to see if there is anything leaking onto the sensors..
sensors? there are no sensors for the CEL/MIL light.
from the ECU there is only a single wire that goes to the cluster CEL/MIL - engine light cluster.
there are many sensors which would be IACV,temp,O2,knock,vtec,oil, etc these would be some of the sensors and this will not affect the engine light not to turn on, but will affect engine performance/drivability.
as i mentioned above, try and locate those pin/wires from the ECU, and if you want get a light tester or similar and place the + positive of the light tester and connect this to the CEL/MIL wire from the ECU and the - ground of the light tester to ground.
if the light comes on then off on ignition, then you know that your ECU is sending power/signal to the cluster engine light. at least you know the ECU works with the CEL/MIL wire but then you will need to check Continuity from the ECU to the cluster.
now if this test doesnt turn on your light, then you will need to check what type of ECU you have, as some ECU's with programmable chips, can disable the CEL/MIL light. (stupid thing to do)
hope this helps champ!
