Passat (B5) :: Tach At 0 - Oil / Brake Light Flashing And Beeping
So my girlfriends passat is starting to have some problems. It looks like a light show on the dash. When driving it, every now and then (a lot more now) the tach goes dead, and the oil and brake light flash, and it starts beeping. The car also has a ABS light on but that has been on for a long time.
So far I've checked both the oil and brake fluid levels, and checked all the fuses. Everything is good there. It just seems funny that they all go at once. I figure maybe one of the plugs to the cluster is loose giving everything a zero reading? I need to buy a vag cable and software some time that's for sure.
Lexus LS 2007+ :: Disable Buzzer From Beeping While Driving Without Seat Belt?
I just sold my 2006 GS430 to pick up a 2007 LS460. So far I have no complaints.
First off: I am NOT condoning driving without a seatbelt. Merely asking a question.
In my gs430 I can go through a series of commands to disable the seat belt buzzer from beeping while i drive without a seat belt. I've browsed the forums and haven't seemed to find the same thing for the LS460.
Is it even possible it to disable it without having the dealer reprogram?
Prius (2001-03) :: Brake / ABS Light And Buzzer Come On For 5 To 10 Seconds Then Go Off
I'm also having an issue with these lights/buzzer on my 2002 since last weekend. Probably about one in every five starts, the brake/ABS warning lights/buzzer come on for around five to ten seconds and then go off. Braking appears to be fine. I'm thinking the brake system is taking too long to pressurize on starting. The car has run fine and brakes have worked fine after this has happened. Brake fluid level is fine. Do these warning lights/buzzer usually stay on, with an issue, or is this intermittent lights upon starting how it normally shows a problem? And yes, I am going to see about finally ordering a mini VCI and also read the blink codes. Dealer is 50 miles from home so I'm trying to figure out what is going on prior to heading that way, as I don't want to have an issue on the drive there.

I've replaced rusted out brake lines on my 1998 GMC Sierra 1500. I bled the system properly and every thing seems to run fine and brakes good. But the brake warning light stays on in the dash and buzzer is on. What to do to turn these off...

Picked up a 5spd 98 Passat w/AEB issues... 117K miles
Oil light & buzzer comes on once warm... so I flushed with Mobil syn 0-40W (previous owner was using whatever oil).
Dropped oil pan, changed out oil pump w/Meyle oil pump (good sludge & nice metal shavings)
New Mobil syn 0-40W - engine runs smooth...
Issue.. oil light and buzzer are intermittant, engine runs & sounds great.
Mechanic tells me coil packs can induce noise into electrical and cause nuisance warnings like this.
Rather tentative to drive with oil buzzer & light going on/off... Any way to ensure another trouble free 50K miles

View 7 RepliesPassat (B6) :: E-brake Not Getting Engaged - Beeping Noise Turns On?
So I just bought a used 06 Passat VR6 (my third vw) and my e-brake light kept coming on for some reason this morning. I never turned it on so I just followed the manual and held the brake and pressed the button. The e-brake light turns off. So I turn to reverse and then the e-brake light comes on by itself and a funny beeping noise turns on, almost like a siren. I put it in park. I hold the brake and push the button and the e-brake turns off, but the process repeats for about an hour.
Now the e-brake light doesn't come on but the funny siren noise turns on when I put it in anything other than park. The siren sometimes turns off after a few seconds but comes on again while I drive, and then disappears. My e-brake is not engaged during this time. What could be the problem?

Driving a 2008 Passat with a factory 6 disc radio installed noticed a faint beeping sound after applying the brake when the SAT Radio is selected? I hear it all the time, especially when I'm listening to talk show and the volume is up high. Surprisingly, it doesn't make that sound when I have the CD Player selected.

My brake fluid is fine and fuses 5 & 9 are good. Brake lever is all the way down as well. Have read that for some simply replacing the cap worked. Car is a 2000 w/170K. BTW, A/C does not work, clutch not spinning, fuses ok there as well. I've made sure a/c button is not on nor is recirc button. Some have said probe can be related to this but that also can show up with a bad fuse # 5, but mine is good.

Pontiac - Bonneville :: Brake Light Inside Car Starts Beeping
I was driving to church this morning when my brake light inside my car starts beeping. As soon as I put it in park and back into reverse it quit beeping. I am just wondering if this needs to be looked at asap. My brakes work fine. I can stop suddenly and everything. My dad changed my front brakes earlier this year and is going to do my back ones soon.
View 4 RepliesVolkswagen - Golf :: Brake Indicator Light Lit Up And Beeping Intermittently
I drive a 2000 VW Golf with 148K miles on it. One Saturday this summer my brake indicator light started lighting and beeping intermittently as I was driving. My brakes were operating fine so I did not read my owners manual until I reached my home. It indicated that I needed to have a qualified mechanic check it immediately but as it was almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon I couldn't find a mechanic in any gas station or garage. As I had a 200 mile drive to do the next day, I purchased brake fluid and carefully followed all of the directions for checking and filling my brake fluid.
However, when I took the cap off of the reservoir, the reservoir really looked fine and I was only able to add about a teaspoon max of brake fluid. However, when I tried driving the car, it seemed that the problem was solved as the brake indicator light did not come on again. Approximately 3 months later now the brake indicator light is intermittently going on again: about every other day. It goes on and then shortly after it goes off and then it doesn't come on again for a day or two.
Inasmuch as I added such a small amount of brake fluid last time I'm really not sure that the problem is actually with the fluid. I wondered if perhaps it was more of a vacuum problem or that by opening the reservoir some air escaped or something of that nature. I also wonder if possibly there's a component that's giving a false reading. At any rate, I'm a little white-haired old lady and there's a limit to what I can do on my car myself and I'm also a target whenever I go into a shop to get the most expensive diagnosis and fix. I'd like to go in to a shop with good information so that it doesn't become an expensive fishing expedition. What could be causing this?
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Beeping Brake Warning Light When Go Up Steep Driveway
Had the 2003 Jetta in for inspection, and he said the rear brake caliper was gone. SO he replaced it.
Now in the morning when I leave for work, as I go up my steep driveway, the brake warning light comes on and beeps at me. Then it stops.
On the way home, as I come up the steep road to my driveway, the warning light comes on and beeps at me!
All other times and all other driving, it's fine.
Civic - Honda :: 2009 - Brake Light Flashes Briefly And Beeping Noise
My 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid has recently taken to beeping when I brake, and the brake light flashes briefly. Doesn't occur all the time; more like intermittent and both the beeping and the light goes off in a matter of seconds. I've been trying to keep an eye on when it happens and I think it happens more frequently when I first start the car.
Took it to a car dealer who said it's the master brake cylinder and the car is leaking brake fluids. They even have to top it off before my husband drove it out of the service center. We of course have not noted any drips in the garage, and have been monitoring the brake fluids and after 3 weeks have not noticed any lost brake fluids. The tank is full.
To replace the master brake cylinder and some miscellaneous repairs such as air filters. It seems to me that if we are leaking brake fluids there should be a drop in the level of fluids in the tank. What to check and perhaps who else besides the dealer to take the car to for more diagnostic testing?

The light in my wife's 03 Passat keeps coming on and beeping...the car will not "act up" when we take it to the dealership ( under warranty ) and they claim to have cleaned the O2 sensors. It never fails, she drives it home from the dealership and the CEL comes on and beeps a few times once she has driven about 10 minutes. Car runs great, but we don't know if it's hurting gas mileage.
