2013 Speedometer/Tach Needles do not move all the way up and down

When I start the car. :( Why?
My friend has a 2010 2LT/RS and whenever he starts his car, speed/tach needles go up and down.

the cycling gauges is part of the computers self test at startup to be sure everything is functioning correctly..

GM had been using this for many years, I recall my 2000 Silverado did this..

If yours is not doing it I suspect there might be a problem, I doubt GM would discontinue the feature all of a sudden, but I could be wrong.


hopefully some other 2013 owners can chime in..


BTW my 2012 does it..

I was thinking it is a feature that you can turn on/off, but couldnt find anything like that in a configuration menu or DIC.
Also, other gauges (oil press, transmission temp etc.) do go up and down. Weird shit.

sounds like there might be an issue. as I said the computer does that to self test the gauge cluster for errors.

See if another 2013 does this. My guess is that the full sweep was redundant, so they changed the cluster strategy.

Nothing happens when you do that. It goes from one reading to the next.


As for the guages cycling, I have always hated it. I wanna know what rpm my car is turning right when it starts, not 5 seconds later when the sweep is done. Btw, if you hit the gas while the gauge is sweeping, it will revert back to reading like normal.

Yep, only the 4 pack in the center console sweep, not the dash gauges.
