briefly when you turn on the
ignition, but the engine is
not running, as a check to
show you it is working.

may have a problem with the electrical charging system.
It could indicate that you have a loose generator drive
belt or another electrical problem. Have it checked
right away. Driving while this light is on could
drain
your battery.
