Yes, the codes can still be retrieved and read by an OBDII scanner, even if the bulb is missing from the Check Engine Light. Don't understand why you would want to pull the bulb out unless you are trying to "fake" out of passing an emmissions or similar test on your vehicle. The Check Engine Light plays a very important part in warning of potential problems - I wouldn't pull the bulb out.
If the check engine light stays on for the Nissan Pulsar n16, you would need to check the engine in order to clear codes. You can take the car for service and the problem will be diagnosed and restored to normalcy.
You need an OBD I scanner.
There are pages of things that will turn the check engine light on. You need to have it checked for codes.

The Check Engine Light comes on when a performance or emissions problem is detected. The OBDII diagnostics need to be scanned to retreive the trouble codes to determine where the problem lies. AutoZone will scan for the codes at no charge.
There is no OBD connection on a 1990 Nissan as that is an OBD1 vehicle not OBD2. However there is a way to read the codes. https://codes.rennacs.com/Petrol-Engine/Japanese-Korean/Nissan-Engines.php
you need to be more specific Nissan used different methods for 87-88 vehicles 84-94 vehicles and vehicles with a check engine light.
As with any check engine light in an OBDII Vehicle (1996 and newer), use an OBDII scanner to FIRST read your codes and find out why it was on in the first place, then SECOND erase the code using the erase command on the scanner. If you don't fix the problem that caused the light to come on in the first place, it will always return.
There is something wrong. Go to auto zone and have the codes read for free.
go to autozone and buy the scanner for $130. works on all 1996 and up vehicles. works great on my 2001 frontier.
