When I turn my key on to the accessories two lights pop up. One I believe is an airbag light and the other is the CEL. After a while the airbag light does go off normally but my CEL stays lit till I turn the car over then disappears. Is this normal? I don't want to be fooled by an electrical fault and be driving around unknowingly messing things up. Car runs fine once started.

 

Its normal.

 

Here's the confirmation on the correct CHK ENG light behaviour at start up:
