Default Gauge question...

I'm new to the forum and it hasn't been long since I got my Z and I'm not sure if this question has been covered already. Recently the electronic gauge has been cycling through all the different screens when I start up the engine (ex. tps, speed, temp, etc.). After it cycles through all the screens it goes back to the screen that I had it on. Is this some kind of warning light or is it broken? Thanks guys any feedback would be great.

Check page 2-8 of your owners manual.

I'm pretty sure it didn't do that before, on start up it would just go to the screen that I set it on before. Haven't had a chance to check the owner's manual yet, hopefully that'll explain why the gauge is acting up like that.

Checked the manual, it says nothing about the gauge cycling through all the screens as a warning. Just wondering if it really is normal and I've never noticed it. So can other people confirm this?

You're being paranoid. If there is ever a spec on the gauge that is out of whack, the item will blink. If it's PSI, the psi light will blink at the bottom. Distance to empty, DTE will blink.

You're trying to find an issue that doesn't exist.

Your Z car did come with a owners manual, right????

If you read the owners manual you may find other answers to questions about the Z car.

Yeah I read the manual, but it doesn't say anything about the gauge cycling through all the screens as a warning signal. As cheshire said, certain screens will blink or it will cycle to certain screens first if there is an issue, but not all the screens.

MY manual says that the gauge is supose to cycle through all modes then go back to your last selected mode. so its normal my car does the same thing.
