Default green sixth gear indicator light flashes

Anyone else have their little green (6) sixth gear indicator light flash for a second when they down shift? Happens when only going down through 4-3-2 gears. It's very noticeable at night. Is their an adjustment? Happening on my 11 RGU 103

I read somewhere on this forum that it has to do with rpm, throttle position, and ecm not a switch to tell if you are in 6th gear. Some people that change front sprocket size loose there 6th gear light all together. I also just read another post about someone not having one at all and it had to do with there PCV and a setting in there.
