Hello, I'm new here and still trying to figure my way around the site. My car failed smog today due to Check Engine Light not found. Where exactly is the CEL located. Past post in here says some cars that year do not have CEL. Is this true and how can I get the smog certificate? Everything else passed.
Thank for your help.

Yours was not a CA car, so it probably does not have a CEL.

Some places won't believe you, because they're STUPID and don't know anything
about cars. There are similar threads elsewhere, and they had to take it to a few
places before getting it done.

Here is a sample letter someone got from VW:

This is about the VW Corrado, shows that certain years do NOT have a CEL.
