Help-Engine oil low pressure and service engine warning in Accessory mode only

Hi Guys,

After reading couple of posts on seriousness of 'Engine oil low pressur' issue and that it can cause serious damage to engine, I am little worried. I will take it to Infiniti dealer soon but wanted to check if I can dive around for couple of days before I take there.

Issue is: When I turn on my car to Accessory mode (Engine not running but all other electronics things working), These two lights 'Service Engine' and 'Engine low oil pressure' warning remains ON and don't go away even after waiting many minutes. But as soon as I start the engine they go away.

Is this normal? Are these just some reminders set or indicate serious issue?

Please advice if I need to take it to dealer soon.

Have you checked your oil?
There is no engine oil pressure when the engine is not running.

All lights do come up but they quickly disappear soon in 1 or 2 seconds. These one remain on forever until engine is started.

There is no engine oil pressure when the engine is not running.
I literally have zero knowledge about cars right now. Reading owner's manual to gain some more insight.

Good to know there is no issue.

Thanks guys.
