What does the dashboard light indicate after the engine starts?

After the engine starts, the dashboard light may indicate that the car system is performing a self-check. Generally, the indicator light turns on for about 3-4 seconds after the ignition is switched on and then turns off, indicating that the car's electronic control system is functioning normally. If the self-check indicator light of the car's electrical system does not turn on or remains lit, it indicates a fault in the car's electrical system. For example, if the engine self-check indicator light remains lit, it indicates an engine fault, and immediate inspection and repair are required. Additional information: Oil pressure indicator: This light displays the oil pressure status inside the engine. During the vehicle self-check, the indicator light turns on and turns off after the engine starts. If the indicator light remains lit, it means the engine oil pressure is below the specified standard, and repairs are needed. Coolant temperature indicator: This light primarily shows the temperature of the coolant inside the engine. It lights up for a few seconds during the vehicle self-check and remains off under normal conditions. If the coolant temperature exceeds the specified value, the vehicle should be stopped immediately for inspection and repair.
