Default Check engine light not working

I have a 2001, Montero sport ES with 117k miles, check engine light is not working and it is not the bulb, Have a feeling that the place i bought from may have disabled it intentionally, I have checked all the fuses and they are all good but there are some that are missing and I can't find a diagram that tells me what they are, can anyone please give me some direction

You need to find your ECU pinout diagram. Maybe look through a manual like Haynes or Chiltons to find that.

There is a certain pin on the ECU that pertains to the check engine light. When you remove it or cut the wire, you eliminate the light.

No, there is not.

Look online for a service manual, you should be able to find one.
