One of the gauges should show a problem such as overheating, not charging or drop in oil pressure.
It means that you have a low reading on one of the gauges and you need to address the problem.

Check the fuse, check the bulbs and check the brake light switch, it should be one of those.
On my 1995 Ford Explorer the " check gage " light will come on if the engine coolant temperature is TOO HIGH , the oil pressure is TOO LOW , or the fuel gauge is at or near empty
The check engine light would come on.
When the check gauge light comes on in the 1995 Chevy Cheyenne, it means there is a problem with the transmission. If the truck won't shift in to overdrive, there is most likely a problem with the VSS system. The transmission needs to be removed so the VSS can be accessed.
Try disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes. May reset the light--if problem persists light will come back on

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 .
