Default Engine management light

Is there a way to check if the engine management light is working? My car is playing up and has been for a few months but the light has never come on, the bloke/Garage i got the car from is known for removing the bulbs if he cant get it to turn off and i wanna check mine.

Any ideas?

When you turn you igntion on the engine managment light should come on, it will stay on until you car is started then go out shortly after. If its not coming on at this point the bulb is blown or its been removed
