anyone know what this dash light means? (GQ)

Correct the light should turn off as soon as the engine is running, my auto uses flash codes through the power hold auto switch. The temp light has never flashed on me.

I hate to say it but, gen sender units leave alot to be desired.
you may be better off getting something aftermarket and not put to much trust in a light.
dont shoot the messenger.

Yeah your spot on robo, the oil sender in tb42's are notorious for failing. But flash codes are a tcu thing not sender related. Its a primitive way of seeing any fault codes (before you were able to plug a diagnostic device in)

Very true Robo, just like a water temp gauge that doesn't tell you what the water temp is *L*

Yeah thats the thing if you hook up a aftermarket sender and gauge you may well see a different picture not to say bad, but fluctuating readings, more real time, not just a steady needle.
In short, This was advice given to me by World Travelled Engine Builder.
