Default "Low Range" light?

So I noticed the other day that when I start my truck, a light that displays "Low Range" comes on for a second with all the other lights and then goes off with them as well. Is this supposed to come on when 4Lo is enguaged? I dont have an owners manual so I dont know how its supposed to work.

I know my 4lo works because you can definitely feel a difference in truck when its enguaged but no light comes on.

The Lo light proves out when you first start the engine. It should be on in 4Lo. If not you have a problem.
