The check gauges light usually means that one of the gauges is out of its normal range. It could be due to an overheat, a under/over charging alternator, low oil pressure....

Because one or more of the gauges is not in the safe zone.

ie: over/under charging, overheating, low oil pressure.....




Either your engine temperature is too high , your oil pressure is too low , or your

gas gauge is at or near empty
