Where's my CEL?

My pickup didn't come with any manuals, so I'm unsure where the CEL is on the dash. I've never seen it. Seems I should be setting it off now and then, so I'm wonding if it's burned out or otherwise not working. Should it come on momentarily during startup or any other time? Any easy way to trigger it to see if it works? I suppose I should be glad, but I'm sort of concerned that if it's not working I'm missing the indicator that something needs some attention.

On mine and several other 95's that I have seen the CEL only comes on for a nano sec. (a flash) when the key is first turned. You have to be looking right at it to see it. Hope this helps some.
