A "check gage light" typically indicates a faulty reading on one of the gages located on your instrument cluster. After starting your vehicle, observe your instrument cluster if one of the indicator needles on the instrument cluster remains all the way to the left or "pegs" out all the way to the right, it may be the cause of your fault. The exception is the coolant temperature gage it will take 10 to 15 minutes after which the needle should rise to a normal position. Correcting the "faulty gage light" will depend on which gage is malfunctioning. Once you have figured out which gage is causing the check gage light to illuminate, then we can proceed to correcting the problem causing it.

I have the same problem. It's the fuel gage in my case...but it is intermittent. Seems to happen more the colder the weather. Sometimes the gage will come on normally at key up, but drop shortly there after...others time it won't function at all on key up. Once it malfunctions, it will not function at all during that key cycle.
It might not be related, but my digital odometer intermittently gets dim (not always when the gage doesn't work). Wonder if it could be a connector or cluster ground problem.
