When should the engine management light go out?
The warning light is supposed to go out within a second or two once the engine fires up, so if yours stays on or lights up while you’re driving, you’re likely to need to take action.
Should the engine light be on while driving?
Can you drive a car with the engine light on? It’s okay to drive for a few miles, but be sure to schedule an inspection of the engine as soon as possible. If the check engine light comes on while you’re driving, don’t panic! Just be sure to have your car inspected as soon as possible after the light turns on.

How do you check dashboard lights?
Take your car key and insert it into the ignition, and switch the car to the “on” position, but not to the “start” position in which the engine is running. When you do this, as you may have noticed before, some or all of your dashboard indicator lights will illuminate.
What happens if you ignore your check engine light?
The light is an indicator that there’s something wrong with your vehicle. “The system is telling you that something has failed and will immediately cause damage to your vehicle that will be costly to repair.” Ignoring your check engine light could result in immediate car problems or deterioration over time.
How long do you use a light box?
These instructions are for light boxes that emit 10,000 lux light (lux is a measurement of light intensity). Light boxes with lower lux rating usually require more time for response. For example, 5,000 lux light boxes require 45-60 minutes of daily exposure, while 2,500 lux light boxes require 1-2 hours of exposure.
What should I do if my engine light keeps coming on?
If this happens, stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so, turn off the engine and check the oil level. If the oil level is low, fill the engine oil to the proper level and start the engine again. If the light stays on with the engine running, turn the engine off immediately.
When does the charging system warning light go out?
The charging system warning light should come on when the ignition is turned on, then go out when the engine is running. If the light stays on while the engine is running, there is a malfunction in the electrical charging system. If the light comes on while you are driving, stop, turn off the engine and check under the hood.
What should the light intensity of a light box be?
The light of a light box ideally should have an intensity of approximately 10,000 lux to be effective. Light therapy glasses may have a lower light intensity, since the light is delivered directly into the eyes rather than being diffused into a room. 1 Sleep Disorders Treated with Light Box Therapy
