I have a 6-year-old Vectra, and I assume your car and mine have the same set-up. Here's what my manual says:

"Control indicator for engine electronics: Lights up when ignition is switched on and remains illuminated during starting.  Goes out shortly after engine starts to run.

The duration of injection, ignition, idling and overrun cut-off ate controlled electronically.

If the indicator lights up during driving, a fault has occurred.  The electronic system switches to an emergency running programme so that driving may be continued.  Consult a Vauxhall dealership to remedy the fault.

Do not drive for a lengthy period with the control indicator illuminated, as this may increase fuel consumption and impair the vehicle's driveability.

If the control indicator lights up briefly and then goes out again this is of no significance."

 

I'm sure your manual says much the same.  Take the car to a dealer.  Something's wrong.

I had a similar situation a year ago.  After having the car checked out on the garage 'computer' several times without finding a fault my head said try replacing the air flow meter.  I did and the light has never been on since.  If the light comes on there is a fault.  Whilst technology is fantastic common sense and the human touch is best!
