hey guys.

looks like there is something wrong w/ my 01 civic..

its battery died today and I jumpstarted.. drove around 1 hour to get it charged. after I shut down the engine and restarted to test.. I heard 6 beeps coming from the dash.. did couple of more shutdown-restarts 6 beeps all the time..

is this car trying to tell me something?

thanx in advance for the inputs.

 

my car has done that since new.

 

i read this, went out started my car, i have 6 beeps too. either i have the same problem you guys do, or its just normal and you never noticed it. my beeps are erally loud tho, killer in the morning going to work.

 

put your dam seat belts on!!

It's the seatbelt indicator.

True true. I was too lazy to go out to my car and check myself.

If it beeps, I've grown accustomed to it. If there are no warning lights on the dash then I say everything is as it should be.

 

Speeking of warning lights im geting a light on mine saying maint req. Checked oil and good. Also changed it with synthetic about 5-6k ago. just started up one morning. It goes away after about 5 seconds but still annoying and wondering if its a problem.

 

UK models don't even do that... All we have is a red light on the cluster saying it's not in use.

Here is your answer, Vermont. It's also linked in the FAQ.

 

If you think your 6 beeps are bad, try having a radar detector that does its boot up beeping and a car stereo that goes through its morning ritual beeping. Grrr, too many beeps !!! :cry LoL

we do too.

 

Funny. I've always heard my 01 civic beep, but never cared cause it didn't bother me. I just ran out to my car to see why it beeps. Put your seatbelt on before you turn your key and then you won't hear it beep.

BTW - I'd rather have those 6 beeps when I turn the key instead of what the newer cars do now. They beep the whole time while you drive if you don't have your seatbelt on. (I only know this to be true on American cars as I haven't driven a newer Honda car.)

 

that means your car is gonna blow up lol

 

Mine beeps while im driving.. maybe for about 10 or so minutes (I never timed it) And the Seatbelt indicator flashes on the cluster. If it's not buckled up

 

haha... i just saw this,and man im disappointed in all of you.
