    hey guys well since i fixed the major problem with the wiring loom. i have been getting a sort of tune from my car.

    i have read the handbook and it says that it should play an "audible warning" when:
    *The Handbrake is on and the car is moving
    *You have exceeded your set speed
    *The engine is overheating.

    thats all i can remember.
    i know its not a loose wire because it still happens on the smoothest of roads well thanks for all your help guys.:bow:

    Also should do it for low fuel - if you still have the original owners handbook there will be a list there - I've got a VS Exec which is different to the VR Berlina so can't help you there.
    The handbrake one is the major cause of chiming as the switch get misaligned easily and the brake handle sometimes fails to fully return. Good Luck.

    If it is the same as my VR you will also have a low fuel warning chime. As Hako has already said check that your handbrake switch is properly aligned.

    if your car has an airbag, it will also have an alarm for a faulty airbag circuit

    48 = crankshaft reference signal missing. the car shouldn't be able to run, so i'd say that's a dodgy code

    That's strange - my Gregorys says 48 = no cam angle sensor signal....and this would make more sense as I think the engine will still run but the engine light will come on.

    I thought 48 for CAS was strange when I checked. my code reference sheet isn't from the manual, it's off this site, and there's 2 codes for a crank angle sensor, so one could be wrong

    under the dash is about as specific as I can get. shouldn't be hard to find, it's a regular piezzo speaker like the horn but smaller. might be best to have it checked by holden just in case, as I'm sure the whole system utilizes the one speaker

    Why dont you find out what is making it beep and fix that instead of just disconnecting it. Those beeping warnings can be extremely useful.

    Try checking the cam angle sensor - either the wiring or the unit. That code 48 is your best clue.

    Gregorys just says remove and check with no test procedure. What I'd do is remove but do not disconnect - run engine - disconnect - run engine again and note any difference. If there is a difference then that means at least it is connected - if not then maybe it is not connected/wired so that its signal is getting to the ECU.
