Default xj8 - check engine light on plus oil can light

De first time it appears there was a message which I missed. The check engine light and the oil can light stayed on. When I started the car they both went away. Now every time I put the electricity on, both lights stay on after the check. When I start the engine they go off, and the car drives without any lights or problems.

I checked the oil level, and that is ok. Anybody knows what this could be, and do I have to go to a jaguar repair dealer?

The check engine light is on because the engine is not running, and the oil light indicates no pressure. In other words, normal behavior.

thank you for your answer, didn't noticed it. And I got confused by the error message the car had. But I think it was nothing special. So thank you for your reaction

B.t.w. I did introduce myself in the section, so I am ready I think.
