So I'm not sure on the GM's but with ford and dodge if you hold down the trip reset button and turn the car into the on position the cluster will go through a test for all the lights and gauges. This will usually reset the gauge to 0. They can also tell you your engine codes, coolant temp, oil pressure, speed, and other things, so if you don't have a code reader this can be helpful
