what does it mean when the check gauges light comes on in my dodge durango?

Question

the warning light in my 2001 dodge durango "check gauges" will come on than go away, what does this mean? what do i need to do?

Answer 1

have you tried looking in the OWNER'S MANUAL?


for some vehicles, it means your gas tank is low, for some it means your engine temp is high, or a sensor isn't working right, etc. The owner's manual will tell you the possibilities and let you know if it requires a full gas tank, or a trip to the dealership.

Answer 2

It means check gauges

Answer 3

It could be a number of things, weak battery/alternator, water temp/level, oil temp/level, low fuel. I would take it in if it continues after you check all the easy fixes.

Answer 4

If it comes on when you first start the car, it;s normal it's just doing a system test, if it comes on while the car must be low on something such as gas, oil pressure, coolant
