I'm assuming you mean when you start your car, the check engine light doesn't temporarily light up.
The LED for your check engine light may be burnt, broken or there could be a shortage somewhere.
From my personal experience, my check engine light would stay on constantly and I was told that a malfunction in my OBD sensor was the cause so I had it replaced. It was pricey so I was pretty upset when my vehicle was returned and the light was still on. I refused to pay for the OBD at that point and the mechanic agreed to waive the fee for the OBD replacement and fix the problem. When my car was returned, the light was off, however, a year later, I found out they busted the LED light so it only appeared to be fixed. The OBD was correctly sensing emissions all along.
What I was told is the light should always come on when you first start your car. If you bring this into a car shop to get fixed, ask if they can replace the check engine light with your trunk open light. Otherwise, I was told the whole circuit board would need to be replaced and that can get pricey. I personally sacrificed my "open hatch" light for the check engine light.
Hope that helps!

If the power door locks are not working on a 1999 Honda Civic, check the fuses. It is also possible that water got into the door lock mechanism and shorted out the system.
