There is no dinger as the other guy suggests . sound comes from the driver door speaker .
The audible warnings alert the driver of a system concern or a critical vehicle condition. The radio generates the audible warnings through the left front speaker. The radio receives audible warning requests via the class 2 serial data line. If the radio receives multiple audible warning requests, the warning with the highest priority sounds first. On vehicles with an audio amplifier, the amplifier instead of the radio generates the audible warnings and receives audible warnings requests via the class 2 serial data line. Either the radio or the audio amplifier is the chime producer. The following lists the audible warning priority and the pulse rate:
Fast rate chime (150 pulses per min)
Medium rate chime (100 pulses per min)
Slow rate chime (50 pulses per min)
Turn signal reminder (will pulse at turn signal flasher rate)
Your best bet ,wear your seatbelt . so the sound goes off . If you do wear the seat belt and the chime sounds ,have a qualified repair shop check it .
What is an extreme alert on my phone?
The Extreme alerts from the National Weather Service include warnings for tsunamis, tornadoes, extreme winds, hurricanes and typhoons. The Severe alerts from National Weather Service include warnings for storm surge, flash floods, dust storms, and snow squalls.
your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop. Have it checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's
Audible Warnings Description and Operation
The audible warnings alert the driver of a system concern or a critical vehicle condition. The instrument panel cluster (IPC) generates audible warnings through an internal acoustic speaker. The IPC receives audible warning requests via the serial data circuit. If the IPC receives multiple audible warning requests, the warning with the highest priority sounds first. The following lists the audible warning priority and the pulse rate:
Fast rate chime (200 pulses per minute)
Medium rate chime (150 pulses per minute)
Slow rate chime (50 pulses per minute)
Single chime
Door Ajar Warning
The IPC activates the door ajar audible warning as requested by the body control module (BCM). The BCM sends a serial data message to the IPC indicating the chime frequency and duration. The door ajar warning sounds and the appropriate DOOR AJAR indicator illuminates in the driver information center (DIC) when the following occurs:
• The body control module (BCM) determines that a door, driver door, passenger door. The IPC receives a serial data message from the BCM indicating the door ajar status.
• The vehicle is not in park. The IPC receives a serial data message from the BCM indicating the gear position.
• The vehicle speed is greater than 8.05 km/h (5 MPH). The IPC uses the vehicle speed information from the ECM to calculate the vehicle speed.
Fasten Safety Belt Warning
The IPC activates the fasten safety belt audible warning as requested by the BCM. The BCM sends a serial data message to the IPC indicating the chime frequency and duration. The fasten safety belt warning sounds and the fasten safety belt indicator illuminates when the following occurs:
• The ignition switch transitions to ON.
• The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) detects that the driver's seat belt is not buckled. The IPC receives a serial data message from the SDM indicating the drivers seat belt status.
If the seat belt is buckled when the ignition is turned ON, the chime will not sound. If the seat belt is buckled while the chime is sounding, the chime will stop. If the seat belt is unbuckled after the initial transition to ON, the chime will not sound.
Key-In-Ignition Warning
The IPC activates the key-in-ignition audible warning as requested by the BCM. The BCM sends a serial data message to the IPC indicating the chime frequency and duration. The key-in-ignition warning sounds when the following occurs:
• The ignition switch is OFF.
• The body control module (BCM) determines that the driver's door is open. The IPC receives a serial data message from the BCM indicating the door ajar status.
• The BCM determines that the key-in-ignition switch is closed and the signal circuit is low. The IPC receives a serial data message from the BCM indicating the key-in-ignition status.
Lights On Warning
The IPC activates the lights on warning as requested by the body control module (BCM). The BCM sends a serial data message to the IPC indicating the chime frequency and duration. The lights on warning sounds when the following occurs:
• The ignition is OFF.
• The BCM determines that the drivers door is open and the signal circuit is low.
• The BCM determines that the headlamp switch is in the park or head position.
Park Brake Warning
The IPC activates the park brake audible warning as requested by the BCM. The BCM sends a serial data message to the IPC indicating the chime frequency and duration.
• The body control module (BCM) determines that the park brake is applied.
• The vehicle is not in park. The IPC receives a serial data message from the engine control module (ECM) indicating the gear position.
• The vehicle speed is greater than 8.05 km/h (5 mph). The IPC uses the vehicle speed signal information from the engine control module (ECM) in order to calculate the vehicle speed.
Additional Warnings
The following warnings have an associated instrument panel cluster (IPC) indicator or driver information center (DIC) message:
• Check Oil Level
The IPC activates the audible warning as requested by the BCM. The BCM sends a serial data message to the chime producer indicating the chime frequency and duration.
• Low Fuel
The IPC activates the audible warning as requested by the BCM. The BCM sends a serial data message to the chime producer indicating the chime frequency and duration.
• Oil Pressure Low Stop Engine
The IPC activates the audible warning as requested by the BCM. The BCM sends a serial data message to the chime producer indicating the chime frequency and duration.
• Reduced Engine Power
The IPC activates the audible warning as requested by the BCM. The BCM sends a serial data message to the chime producer indicating the chime frequency and duration.
• Trans Hot Idle Engine
The IPC activates the audible warning as requested by the BCM. The BCM sends a serial data message to the chime producer indicating the chime frequency and duration.
• Turn Signal On
The IPC activates the audible warning as requested by the BCM. The BCM sends a serial data message to the chime producer indicating the chime frequency and duration
The owners manual should help shed some light on this problem. The car may be somewhat programable for the alerts and warning systems. You may also need to lubricate the door button that senses the door is open and closed. Good luck.
Sound like a problem with the engine temperature sensor go to bad; this device send a warning alert at ECU (Engine Control Unit) to prevent and shutoff engine.
I have been used this Midland weather radio with S.A.M.E alert for last 2 years. My device works perfectly. My radio has sounded whether any tornado warnings and severe thunderstorm warnings. After reading your post you have to face some problems with your device, that during tornado warnings and severe thunderstorm warnings your radio not sounded. If you follow some steps then your issue will be resolved. Carefully review the manual. Or, it is possible that the NWS did not issue a warning for the storm. Warnings are issued for thunderstorms. If a storm is not expected to produce severe weather, a warning with an alert is not issued.
The sound may be an indicator alert. overheating, unlocked latch, etc. If the system is running ok and no noticable problems with your software, check your BIOS setting for log information related to alerts. If you find nothing of significate problems, you can disable alerts in the BIOS.
