99 pontiac sunfire, check gage light on

[usps]

99 pontiac sunfire check gauges light on and when the light came on the gas gauge quit at the same time. I know what the check engine light means but I have no idea what the check gage light is. Any help would be appreciated .

Welcome to AF!

The check guage light means that something is wrong, like low fuel, engine overheating, oil pressure too low, etc. I would have to guess that the light came on due to the fuel guage failing. If you replace the sending unit it willl probably go off.
