It is normal for the engine light not to illuminate during the power-on self-test because the engine light typically turns on when the car is not started and automatically turns off 3-5 seconds after startup. If the engine malfunction indicator remains lit, it indicates: If it stays lit while driving, it generally means there is an issue with the engine. Possible causes: An illuminated engine malfunction indicator is often due to a fault in the fuel emission system. When the light is on, try starting and turning off the vehicle three times, then observe whether the light remains illuminated upon restarting. If it does, promptly take the vehicle to a repair shop for diagnosis.
