    check to see if your charging system is producing 13.5volts or greater. that's all the advise i can give you without looking at the vehicle.

    its just a warning to alert you sumthing is not up, have you fondled with the trip comp settings lately? you might have set the speed limit warning down too low

    Home FAQ/Beeps.

    Beeping Codes from Level 3 Clusters

    Overspeed A = T4 pause (1) T3
    Low fuel B = T2 pause (1) T3 pause (4) repeated 5 times
    Hot engine C = T1 pause (1) T2 pause (1) T3 pause (1) T3 pause (1) T3 pause (1) T3 pause (1)
    Park brake C = T1 pause (1) T2 pause (1) T3 no pause T3 pause (1) T3 pause (1) T3 pause (1)
    Press remote B = T2 pause (1) T3 pause (4) repeated 5 times

    T1 = 2560 Hz 1/8 sec
    T2 = 3200 Hz 1/8 sec
    T3 = 4266 Hz 1/8 sec
    T4 = 6400 Hz 1/8 sec
    Pause = 1/8 sec


    Beeps from the cluster ^^.

    Most probably temp gauge warning or hand brake switch not working.

    Think 88greenvn posted above what the beeping from the cluster could indicate. Is there different changes in pitch(sound) from the chime or is it just the same constant sound.

    I am sure the answer is a few posts above

    you can also check the PCB on the back of the cluster for broken tracks. Run the cluster in Diag mode to see if the trip computer has a fault.
