Unfortunately most pesky "Check engine" light bulbs out live the engine. Best bet is take you a small drill bit and drill a hole right through the dash into the light effectively deleting it

I prefer to use a nail gun. Much quicker and the hole is covered by the head of the nail.

You can also put a bit of electrical tape over it. Easier than trying to drill it out, and it also looks much nicer in my opinion.

Why do you want it to burn out? It's a great indicator that your engine is running.

The one on my 86’ just did so….

I always recommend a CEL delete. When alternators start going out, a lot of wasted electricity goes to dash lights.

It is eternal. There is no beginning or end to the check engine light: It is, has been, and will always be in a place outside of time.

Dash out, square of electricians tape. Sorted.

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

When you pull the instrument cluster and put electrical tape over it

Ha, amateur, you need to rewire the cel to the oil pressure light, which was already rewired to the alternator light. So it still comes on for the bulb test, but goes out right after starting.

They don't, this is why God made HPTuner

About 60-80k miles for my sequoia. Just had to replace the bulb so it would pass inspection

Toyota obviously didn't put the effort in on reliabilty in the check engine light bulbs. My Ford had had it lit up for at least 100k miles now and it still hasn't burned out (actually serious about that).

Depends how many volts you feed it

I've heard that they outlive the engine unfortunately, but what I do on my car is just put a piece of electric tape over it.

I pulled the bulbs in both of my old 9th gen f150s. The hoods were open so often that I didn’t need a damn lightbulb to remind me.
