I'm not sure if it is the same as "Check Engine" but.......Check engine light is a warning that something with your emission control system is malfunctioning. To keep driving with the light on could reduce your gas mileage or damage /plug your cat converter. Converters are about $100 not counting the labor. I would suggest getting it checked out. Most mechanics will check the codes for free if they do the repair, otherwise I've seen the service advertised for $19.99. Good luck
AnswerPut more than 65 cents worth of gas in it fool....Most of the time when you check gauges light comes on it means you are almost out of gas. You can probably go about 37 more miles. But Chevy also is know to have loose wires in the back of you gauge pod. So if you have gas and know you have gas then you probally have a short in your gauge wire cluster that plugs in the back of your speedo.
The light should go off when the fuel guage reaches 1/4 tank of gas.
ANSWER
On Chevy Cavaliers from about 90-2000 they use a check gages light instead of a low fuel light. Just means you need to put in over a 1/4 tank of gas for it to go off.
it comes on when you need gas
In my 99 cavalier it means to look at gauges and check to make sure they are reading correctly. Mine goes on when I need fuel. Dummy light is what they are called.
Yes... the "Check Gauges" light will light.
Check your coolant level.

If your Chevy trailblazer 2004 gauges are not working, check your fuel pump.
It means that the hydraulics which operate your fuel and temperature gauges may be leaking or damaged. One or more of the gauges is out of the normal operating range when engine is running. It could be the oil pressure gauge is reading to low, the temperature gauge is reading to high or the voltmeter is reading to low so, check the gauges.
check the fuse under gauges
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.

I had that issue with my Cavalier and it turned out to be a fuel pump problem. I would check with your local mechanic.
To fix the cigarette lighter on a Chevy Cavalier, check the fuse first. Next check the wiring and the cigarette lighter itself for a problem.
