Does it goes off after the car has fully started or remain on permanently? It is normal if it goes off but indicates problems with your powertrain if its remain on permanently.

Since it goes of, there's nothing wrong with your engine. You should worry when the light stays on more than 5mins of starting ur car.

Cheers.
