I would just go to an auto parts thing and say your CEL is on and you want a code pulled. And see what it is, if it throws the cat code IDR what number, then the light probably burned out, but I highly doubt that...

the CEL should light up every time you cycle the key to the on pos. if it does not then it burned out.

FWIW here in good ol' CA, if the CEL doesn't function (bulb burned out or otherwise) your car won't pass the first diagnostic part of a smog inspection.
