When the key is on but engine not running the lights on the dash come on as a self test. With the engine running the light going off is a good thing, it means no problems detected by the onboard computer. The light would only be lit when the engine isexperiencing a problem, need tohave a scanner hooked up to read the codes to see what is going wrong.
