ignition, but the engine is
not running, as a check to
show you it is working.
Then it should go out. If it stays on, or comes

you are driving, you may have a problem with the
electrical charging system. It could indicate that you
have a loose generator drive belt or another electrical

light is on could drain your battery.
If you must drive
a short distance with the light on, be
certain to turn off all your accessories, such as the radio
and air conditioner.
