Default CHECK GAGES light come on during acceleration?

I just noticed recently that sometimes when I accelerate at part throttle my "CHECK GAGES" light comes on for two seconds then turns off. Any ideas what this is? The only PCM tuning I have is LS1Edit firmed up my shifts, adjusted shift points, and reprogrammed for my 3.73. I have a Vig3800 stall, Hooker LTs, SLP Raspmouth, intake, and gears. Now my trans is going out slowley could this be the cause of the light?

Thanks
Phil

I've seen a loose ground cause this exact problem... Check all your grounds in the engine compartment.

Also, a malfunctioning alternator could cause the same problem...

could be a loose or defective sensor on the fuel side of things...
