Cant figure out what the CHIME is for!!
ok, I had lurked on this site a while back when I had a SC4... but I ended up selling that and haven't been in the Lexus game in a while.
Recently just purchased an 03 GS300... 120k and in perfect condition.
I have searched and have checked all of the normal things, yes the sunroof is closed... all the doors are closed but i still get a chime. and here is the weird part... the chime only happens when i accelerate from a stop or the car changes elevation, like when entering into my driveway... nose up or down... still a chime.
I have checked all of the fluids... everything is topped off... any help is greatly appreciated.

Just 1 chime...1 chime when i accelerate, 1 chime whenever the car changes elevation
its the same sound if you leave the key in the ignition and open the door.
but whenever i hear it... its only 1 chime

Have you driven the car at night? Maybe if one of the indicators lights up for a second it can tell you where the problem lies?
Try to narrow down what can be affected with elevation?
- headlight leveling sensors
- fuel sensor
- ?

Is there any dents in the doors where the pin switches contact, maybe it thinks a door is open. I've had this before where somebody shut the seatbelt buckle in the door and it made a dent so the door doesn't push the pin switch all the way in, when you went around a corner the warning buzzer would go off

Man, here I am thinking I was the only one with that issue. Kinda like admitting to ED - lol.
The previous owner snapped the emergency brake cable somehow and the emergency brake pedal is stuck fully depressed. No harm, well until I actually need to use the emergency brake. But it does chime periodically.
Hope it helps.
