Default Speedometer Indicator Lights

At the bottom of the speedometer on my 97 Road King there are two indicator lights that I have never seen light up.
On the left there is "P" and on the right there is "Eng".
Should these ever light up?
This is a bare bones carbureted ex-police bike.

P for "pursuit" on FLHRP (gumballs flashing)

Eng used for "check engine" on fuel injected models.

So just to be clear, the check engine light will NOT come on for carbureted models?
The shop manual is not clear about that.
Even on my carbureted sportster it came on and I could manually pull the DTC codes.

Not on the evo- you still have just an "ignition module" not a computer like the EFI models

Thanks. I wish the shop manual had been a little more specific instead of having me chase my tail.
