hey guys,
when i came outside of work today to warm up my car, after about 30-50 seconds these series of beeps sounded.... it sounded exactly like a microwave...

beep beep beep beep beep..... beep beep beep beep beep...

i tuned off the car, and restarted and it didn't happen...\



no warning lights came on.. what would this be???

i thoyght it was my cellphone for a sec

 

Straight from the FAQ

I keep hearing a beep beep beep

Probably the power steering computer telling you there is a problem with the system. The number of beeps before pausing will indicate the problem.
1-beep, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of speed sensor signal:
In case broken wires or short circuits occur to sensors or harnesses, the buzzer sounds 60-seconds after the engine speed signal of 2200 rpm continues for 18-seconds.
2-beeps, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of engine speed signal:
The buzzer sounds twice and repeats when the vehicle speed signal is missing input and/or no engine speed signal is found (short circuit, broken wire, etc.)
3-beeps, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of stepping motor signal:
The buzzer sounds when there are broken wires or short circuits in coils or harnesses.
4-beeps, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of the power steering microcomputer:
The buzzer sounds 4 and repeats when there are circuit troubles other than with the micro computer.
5-beeps, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of steering sensor signal: Steering sensor is mis-aligned or failed or steering wheel has been improperly installed.

It's cool man, I probably wouldnt haved checked the FAQ either. I just knew that Beeping usualy had to do with powersteeering because I'd seen it before.

 

Do you have an s4 or S5 model?
