If the check engine light bulb is the only one not illuminating, than the bulb may have fallen out, burnt out, or may have been removed. In order to fix, you will need to remove the instrument/gauge cluster. Once removed, you will be able to see if the bulb is in fact missing. If this is the case, it will need to be replaced.
