EPC and OBD/LIM indicators

Volkswagen Fox 2010  32000 miles
When placing the key in the ignition, the EPC light indicator on the dashboard remains turned on, as well as another that is a little engine drawing. When starting the engine, they turn off and do not appear again. Is it normal or should I worry? Can anyone check if this happens in your own car please? I would appreciate your help.

Hello, I searched what you asked and it is normal that the indicators turn on when the key is in the ignition. They are indicating that they work in case the car fails. If it happened to you that they do not turn on, you have to know that the light is damaged and needs to be replaced, or else you won't know when the engine is failing.

Hi, Alfy52, it is normal that the indicators turn on when the engine is not yet working, because the computer and the dashboard are not receiving the information from the unit working. That is why they remain turned on until you start the engine, when they disappear. Hope it helps.
