After GOOGLING around a bit, I found out what that light means. (I've kinda been wondering too)
It lights when it wants you to check the gauges for a possible problem; low fuel, high temp, low fuel pressure etc.
FriPilot Answer: It is probably low fuel, check your guages to see if your gas is low,this warning sure beats running out of gas.
Answer location of check gauges lightthe check gauges light is on your instrument panel when it comes on it lights up saying check gauges
I have a 1995 Pontiac Sunfire . The "check gages " light comes on when my gas tank is on empty. I dont know if this is a right answer but this is how I know I need to fill up at the gasbar .
check the light bulbs to make sure theres nothing wrong with the bulb itself ie burnt out or intrenal short in the bulb. as for the check gauges lite it will come on when your gastank is low or if something is wrong
I have an 01 Pontiac sunfire and I have noticed that the check gages light comes on when the gas is low. I have never seen any other indicator come on for low fuel.
If a check engine light is flashing that means an engine cylinder misfire has been detected
Have vehicle scanned to determine the problem
Check the main fusebox under the hood.
The check gauges light means that one of the gauges is out of the safe range.
it probably needs an O2 sensor they range from about 40-90 dollars
The check gauges light stays on when one of the gauges is out of the safe or normal range.
Check the gauges. One or more of the gauges must be out of normal range to trip the "check gauges" light.
My older Blazer has a 'check engine' light and also a 'check gauges' light. When the 'check gauges' light is on, check your other gauges like the temp and volt gauges. One of them may be showing something different than normal.
