Well, generally, yes. But it really depends on what the cause is that's making the light come on. It could pretty much be anything, and you should probably pull codes to see if that narrows it down any.

How do you make your check gauges light go off on your 93 Chevy cavalier?
It depends on what is causing it. This light usually comes on when the car dies, the oil pressure goes to zero, the water temp goes into the red zone, or the volt gauge goes to high or low. One of your gauges should be inoperative or showing an incorrect reading, or you have a problem with the engine for this light to be coming on.

The check gauges warning is an additional warning to the driver that something is not right.

Why does the check gauges light come on only sometimes on a 2002 trail blazer?
It could be a problem that is showing up intermittently. Most of those types of problems are stored in the computer, so you could probably borrow, rent or buy an OBD2 code scanner that would tell you what's going on. Check with your local auto parts retailer. They can often give you a little assistance on those types of issues, especially if you could go in during an off-peak time. Good luck. The number one reason the "Check Guages" light comes on is for you to check the guages. It is almost always because your temperature guage is reading really high and when you start off,the temp goes down and the light goes out. Another is the oil pressure guage. If it goes low while ideling such as at a stop light, the "Check Guages" light comes on and goes out when you start off again and the oil pressure goes up.
