No, the system comes on when it sees a problem. It lights up for a second to do a self check at startup, if there is a problem like a loose connection or excessive resistance or low battery voltage the light will activate.
To clear the light the dealer hooks up a special connector to testbook to read the codes and then they can clear them to see if they come back. Takes only .3 nothing more. If it comes back well then the diagnosis needs to be done.
