Default Check Gauges Light?

Hey everyone, I had a quick question. I have a 2007 5.4 FX2 F150, and when I first start the truck the Check Gauge warning will come on for about 3 seconds. I haven't really noticed it until last week but I'm not sure, it could have been doing it since I bought the truck last year. I looked in the book and checked the things that it said would cause that warning to come on and everything seems good, also since it doesn't stay on for longer than 3 seconds I didn't figure it would be anything serious but I thought I'd ask anyway. Thanks!.

If you watch your oil pressure gauge you'll notice it's not up when the light is on but as soon as the oil pump picks up and your pressure goes up the light goes off

My screen on the cluster flashes "Check gauges" for not even a whole second. I've noticed I have had a rough idle, so I'm taking it to Auto Zone today to check codes

If you pay attention all of the warning lights come on when you start up. its a bulb and system check and is explained quite clearly in the owners manual.
