Unhappy Annoying beep, beep, beep.... Help please!

Got my car out for a spin today after 3 months of storage. Here’s the problem, after start-up and every 2 minutes after, a get 5 beeps. At first I thought it was my windshield fluid because it was empty (warning light on)… Filled it up, warning light off but still get the beeps. I checked the tires' pressure even if the warning light was off, still get the beeps.

No codes on my OBD2 and all warning lights are off… Any idea what causes these annoying beeeeeeeeps??

Does sound just like the TPMS warning buzzer, for low tire pressure, especially since it's happening over and over. Check your owner's manual...pages 40-55 or so covers all the beeps and buzzers.

my guess is the battery died in one of your tire pressure sensor. but it should be giving you a warning light. the only other time i've heard that is a seat belt warning. unless you're driving around with a 50 lb. weight in the passenger seat, it's probably not that.

def a tire pressure sensor, its either out or your running on a flat which would be hard to notice on run flats

Depending on how fast the beep is, it is either moorse code for 5 or 0. Hope this helps.


Had the same issue when I changed my wheels, pulled the wire as instructed in the sticky and it went away.

Ok, mystery solved… It seems like you guys were right!
I disconnected the TPMS module under the radio and the beeping is gone! Maybe the bulb is burnt, ‘cause I don’t have an indication in the instrument cluster?
Not even when I put the key to the ON position… Strange....

Thanks for steering me to the right direction!
