that pretty much means your about to blow your engine, check your coolent overflow for chocolete milk, sorry man























did you redline? if not then


sorry, i couldnt resist, check your body computer for loose connections and bad solder joints if the problem persists, im sure it was just a fluke, there are worse things in these money beasts

sounds like low oil or low coolant buzzer. Check both.

and the body computer would have nothing to do with either of those.

If you squeeze the top rad hose do you hear any bubbles???

If you do, you have air in the cooling system.

and what X on the dip stick... the top ones (nearest to the handle) or the bottom ones (nearest to the end in the oil)?

Next time it does that, Take a right handed turn at fast speeds. If it is oil then you'll know without having to check.

I hate that buzzer. if it goes off like that you have no way of knowing what it was......just as you described.

Body computers only beeps when the key is in the ignition and the door is open,

or the car is not running and the door is open and the lights are on.

If it's a BEEP it's probably the power steering computer. if its like AAAAAAANGH then it's the coolant/redline buzzer everybodys talking about.
The power steering computer beeps different beeps for different things, the FSM has what it all means.

I know once my tach quit working and my power steering computer FREAKED out. beeping and all kinds of crazy ****.
