The CEL should come on when you turn the key on and then go out of there are no codes. If it never comes on ever I might be concerned, but if it comes on and then goes out after you start the car it just means that you have no codes.

Correct.

If the CEL is not even coming on at all then you either have a short somewhere in the harness or the bulb is burnt out in the cluster

Replace the bulb. Take out the cluster and on the back there are little turn knobs, the top left is the cel obviously. Turn it and the bulb will come out. Steal one from ur mx6 cluster

Check the FAQs section, KL31/36 ECUs don't have a CEL.
Note that Jspec ECU's did not come with a CEL indicator so you will no longer have a CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.
Jump 10 and gnd and then jump F and B+ with a LED to pull codes.

He meant FEN. Connect FEN and B+ to a LED. It works with mine KL36 ECU.

Here is some good info...
