The check gauges warning is an additional warning to the driver that something is not right. If you see this warning, be sure to survey all the indicators on your instrument panel...especially oil pressure and engine temperature. If you see anything you're not sure of, err on the side of safety and pull off the road, shut down the engine and seek help.

It means one of the gauges is out of normal range. Check the gauges while it is running and you will probably find the vehicle is not charging, overheating or has low oil pressure.

This light comes on if your temp gauge goes to HOT or your oil pressure drops to zero. Its a warning for you to look at the gauges and see whats wrong.

The check gauges light is on when one of the gauges is out of the safe zone. It could be overheating, not charging, or no oil pressure.

It means to physically check the gauges because one or more of them is showing you there is a problem, such as not charging, overheating, low oil pressure, etc.
