My 02 durango did the same thing and it ended up being that the battery was going bad, but of coarse the first thing I looked at when I saw the light was the oil pressure gage then the temp and that was when I noticed the battery light pegged low.

Suggested Repair
When the check gauges light comes on, check oil pressure, coolant temperature, and the battery/charging gauge. A weak battery or low charging voltage can trigger the light, so test the battery and charging system.
