New to Chrysler 300 lightning bolt on dash during startup

Well I just bought my 2019 300S about two weeks ago. I just was noticing when I start my vehicle, either remote start or regularly starting there is a lightning bolt symbol coming up on the dash. It only stays on for about 3-4 seconds tops. The car starts up everytime, and seems to be running great.

I looked up the warning light and know it could be a throttle body sensor. All the people i have seen commenting about this issue are having their car die while driving or not starting at all. I'm not having any of these issues.

Being new to the car, I just wanted to see if it's a common thing to see during start up, or could there be a problem developing, that I should check out.

Any information would be greatly appreciated
Thanks, Robert

That's normal. If it comes on while driving, it indicates a problem with the electronic throttle control system.
