Mystery Beeping

[Sonnia]

2000 Lincoln LS V8 Spt Pkg

I hope this is not old news BUT....

I think I have figured out what the "single or several mystery beeps" that do not display an error message or warning on the LS is. I have been able to recreate consistantly. The beep are a half tone of the low fuel warning beeps.

It occurs when travel at a speeds higher that 60 km/h and the turn signal light on for two long (about 62 blinks). The faster you go the less time or blinks before the the car will beep.

The beeps are a reminder or a "do not forget" that you have the turn light going and should turn it off.

I think most who have heard the beep(s) just happen to turn off the turn signal as its about to beep, thus the mystery.

I've had a couple mystery beeps but not from that, one was when I was slowing for stopped traffic and I heard the beep and than the message display came on but it was very fast and I did not see what it was saying, I don't even think I could see what it says even if I knew it was coming and I stared at it cause it was so quick.

That is the famous mystery beep that is due to a momentary loss of communication between the computer and transmission. From what I understand it exists in every V8 and some V6's. There is no fix for this and there is nothing to be concerned about.

I'm pretty sure mine beeps as well when I reach 1/2 tank of gas too...

this has been covered a few times. people think it's due to a brief communication breakdown with the dashboard. those of us that have seen the message (good luck) usually see "Check Transmission" for all of 1/10 second
