Ignition warning lights?

Coley39 · 06-04-2009, 11:03 AM

Hi,

Does anybody know what lights should stay on when ignition only is activated without starting the engine ?

I thought it would just be the handbrake light but mine also has the engine management light in yellow, it does disappear once i start the engine. Nothing stated in the hand book either ?

Is this normal ?

Cheers

I think it's usually check engine soon, hand brake (if on), oil pressure, and battery draining. If it all goes away when you start then that's completely normal.

Are you sure that it's not stated in the manual? And your just saying that you checked so you don't get flamed?

200 Deuce, If I had found the answer in the handbook or if the answer was in the handbook I wouldn't need to add a post would I ?

I have the SES light on when ever the car is in on mode but it goes away the second I turn on the engine.

Yes, it is normal. It lights briefly to indicate the system check when you start the car. Airbag, brakes, seatbelt should do the same.
