I have seen the lights doing the counterclockwise pattern when my cranking batteries were undercharged (low voltage).
Info from Freightliner says it may also be loss of data going to the message center. Quote from Freightliner SB 54-12 below.
Message Center (MC)
The message center (MC) is located in the dash panel and contains the icons that illuminate to warn of potential
problems. See Fig. 1. The MC has a built-in diagnostic function that indicates whether or not the MC is receiving
data from the vehicle data computer (VDC). If data is not received from the VDC for more than 45 seconds,
the icon lights will "dance" or initiate a chase pattern, indicating no reception of data. Data is sent from
the VDC to the MC and on to the instruments. See Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.
