Weird gauges

When I shut my car off my needles on my gauges jump for a minute. What's that?

I had an 06 cobalt LT that did that never caused any issues. It was weird though.

The ghost in the machines. Random segments of code. One might suggest your car even has a soul.

I've noticed it also, just have ignored it. Happened with both my stock and ss gauge cluster. Still need to lower your car sandman.

Yeah. I'm not concerned at all. I was only curious. Figured it must be a systems check or something

I'm a poor college student lol. Maybe over winter break or next summer when the cash starts rolling in again.

You bought wheels before suspension though. I got suspension then did a 5 lug swap.

I was told it has something to do with them calibrating. But they all do that.

Same. I was also told this is a system check of some sort or calibration. Saw mine do it once before car even started after accessory was turned on.
