slight problem with my FC beeping noise..
 
well i just swapped my motor into a new chassis for an FC
and i did everything clean and took my time with it
it runs fine(cept alignment) no over heats all systems with new fluid and tune up is done...

problem: i just got this beep when im driving but not when im parked/idle
its like the noise you would get if the FC was key on engine off and the car rolled back or what ever... its like, "heyy your cars off and your moving WTF???"

but umm yeah my car is on.. soo if anyone could direct me to a previous thread that solved this problem..or know where/what this sensor or wire is...or even just the name of it...that would help alot!!!

umm i dont wanna drive with a beep its nicer than the low coolant beep but just as annoying

and info would be greatly appreciated!!

thx in adv.:scratch:

is your power steering hooked up? i think the power steering computer under the dash will beep if there is a problem, I had to remove that box in my S4 when I deleted my power steering, I think the problem was that it was beeping.. but when I did it in my S5 I didn't have to remove it.

ima look at that right now im pretty sure it is... its like a box with a dark circle on it right??

i had suspicions of power steering cuz it feel different from before but not in a bad way..just awkward


hmmm i'll get back to ya on that in a few....

ok i messed with it and it didnt do shitaki
it is pretty much plug in and nothing else to it...

i think i the thing i noticed when i drove it, the beeping comes during high RPM's and long distance drives/freeway, im not sure but i think it went off for a few seconds when i threw it in reverse to park...


idk is thats just random or might have something to do with it...
:dunno:

its lame tho i wanna fix that... Beep is comming from inner dash drivers side near clutch....

is there something else i should check?????

no i found it, its actually the power steering control module
i disconnected it whie it was beeping and it was gone :D

umm i think it's the the PS module but i drove with it disconnected and i had no problems...i dont know why it would beep tho....i guess i need to figure out what its trying to tell me...

ok as i was looking through the archives i found this:

"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."
