Check engine light NEVER comes on

Since you have at least 3 drive cycles, you should go ahead and plug in the scanner you have access to. In the display, usually across the top, there are several two letter acronyms, like CC. These are the ready lights. You can also keep pushing the down arrow on some code readers and after displaying any codes, it will scroll through the ready lights one at a time with an up or down arrow indicating its status. It will also tell you if the MIL should be on or off. MIL is the check engine light circuit.
