Default Flashing check gages light

Flashed my 2000 camaro with a 2002 flex fuel tahoe os. Now my check gages light is flashing intermittently. All my gauges read as normal and it does not flash when running a camaro tune. Any ideas as to why?

Doesn't it mean when it flashes it detects a misfire?

That is the SES yellow light i believe, this is the red one that comes on when you have low fuel or your coolant temp is out of range

Any codes when this happens? Do you have a log of the event showing lots of knock or something?

Its NOT the service engine soon light. If i knew what to log i would. Anyone have a list of EVERYTHING that triggers the check gages light? I know oil pressure, high low volts, fuel, high temp. I can only assume the os expects different value on one of those and is triggering the light intermittently. I know that the trucks use a different alternator?
