Post subject: 2000 Toyota Camry Need help!!!!

I just bought a 2000 toyota camry last week...I had it checked out by my mechanic and he said it was in good shape and there wasn't anything wrong with it...I noticed a couple of days ago that when I first turn on the car the check engine light, battery light and another light that looks like water dripping out of something light up, they dont stay lit but they light up briefly when the car is turned on....now I admit I know absolutely nothing about cars and I dont know if this is normal or if there is something wrong with my...it has been driving fine and there is nothing else to make me supsect something is wrong...

To the best of my knowledge, I think most cars do pretty much the same thing... the warning lights come up for a couple of seconds when the car is initially turned on. I don't think it's a problem until the lights stay on permanently; that's when you ought to check for problems - immediately.

That is perfectly normal. It serves two purposes: It proves the lights
are working (not burned out), and as they go off, it proves the systems
that they are monitoring are working normally.

Did you get an owner's manual with the car? It will explain all that.
