What does it mean when check gauges light flashes?

When the "check gauges" light flashes on a vehicle's dashboard, it indicates that one or more of the gauges, such as oil pressure, temperature, fuel level, or battery voltage, are reading outside of their normal ranges. This could signal potential issues, such as low oil pressure or overheating, which require immediate attention. It's important to pull over safely and check the gauges or consult the vehicle's manual to diagnose the problem. Ignoring this warning could lead to serious engine damage or safety risks.
