sure that it is not the coolant level as the buzzer will go off if you are low on coolant or have bubbles in the system as well.

My buzzer did that a lot way back. It turns out it was my oil level sensor was dangling together by a thread and some grease :O: I cleaned it up and reconnected it. Problem solved.

^ it is on the driver's side somewhere. Just find the oil level sensor and it should be the wires that come out of it. Just follow them along untile you reach the connecter that goes into the harness.

The oil level sensor is on the side of the oil pan on the driver's side of the vehicle.  If you peer down from the driver's side shock tower down at the engine mount, you should side the wire - it's the only on there, unless you have the stupid sub-zero start assist crap which should've been pulled in the first place.

If you look from under the car, it's the sensor close to the oil drain bolt.
