“‘Check engine’ is the only light in my life”
The “light of one’s life” is often a person (such as a family member) or a religious figure (such as Jesus). A joke is that the only “light of one’s life” that’s always on is the “check engine light”—a sign of car trouble.

Wikipedia: Check engine light
A check engine light or malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), is a tell-tale that a computerized engine-management system used to indicate a malfunction or problem with the vehicle ranging from minor (such as a loose gas cap) to serious (worn spark plugs, engine problems or a faulty oil valve, etc.). Found on the instrument panel of most automobiles, it usually bears the legend engine, check engine, service engine soon, maintenance required, emiss maint, or a pictogram of an engine—and when illuminated, it is typically an amber or red color.
