Most cars used to turn on all the warning lights when the starter was cranking the engine. This is a check mode so you can see they work.
If you want more time to see, put the car in drive, put your foot on the brake and turn the key, the lights should all come on but the engine should not crank.
For manual trans cars leave your foot off the clutch in Nuetral. Same effect.

Does a 2001 Chevy Prizm have a timing chain or belt?
I can't say for sure, but I have a 2001 Prizm and called some mechanics to look into having the belt changed, and they told me I didn't need to because it has a chain. According to the repair manual from 1993 through 1997 the Prizm used a timing belt and was an interference engine. From 1998 until end of production the Prizm used a timing chain. same with its mechanical twin, the Toyota corolla.
