Steering wheel is likely misadjusted.

Power Steering system causes a "beep" noise... that is a "Buzz" noise.

Oil or coolant level sensor.

This.

Or your coolant level. One of the two, but more than likely, oil.

recently flushed coolant, burped and all, its fine. i filled up oil not too long ago as well, will it beep if the oil sensor is frayed or something? maybe thats it... the oil sensor is just at the bottom of the pan yes? ill check when i get off of work. thanks


also, doesn't the redline buzzer make this sound? could that be messed up?

sorry, lots of questions here

does it only do it when your moving? or does it go off when the wheel is turned when your parked?

also, it is pretty funny. if I were your friend i'd mock you mercilessly, and then help you fix it.

Sometimes you don't get all the bubbles from the top end tank of the radiator. Pull the sensor in the middle of the radiator and check for bubbles.

I'm betting it's the oil. Check it again, it can get lower rather quickly.

Yes, yes and yes. The coolent level is much more of a annoyance than it should be. Bubbles can easily hang around if you don't fill it exactly as required.

3 Weeks ago, right after you filled it, did it beep when you turned right?

Why would you want to turn right? In NASCAR, they only turn left.

On a serious note, I have no idea. Sorry I can't help. Keep an eye on your fluids. Roto's inject oil into the engine.

Look at the pic in post #195 in the following link. It depicts the low oil sensor (sensor with arrow pointing to it). Disconnect the plug from it and ground the wire then turn the key to on and it should cause the buzzer to turn on. Then unground the wire, tie it out of the way and then take the car for a spin and see if the car still wants to turn on the buzzer. If it does then the problem is either the coolant sensor or the wiring associated with the low oil sensor or some other absurd thing.

These engines inject oil into the combustion chamber to help lubricate the engine, if you have lots of high RPM action you generally go through oil rather quickly.

Then maybe you have a leak, or bad oil control seals.
