Hey Guys and Gals,

I have a Jap import S4 87 that has the warning buzzer that goes off when the car is doing over 100K's. This becomes quite annoying on the freeway

. I want to stop this from happening but wasnt sure if I could do it without killing the speaker as I think it also beeps for other warnings such as low fuel / high temp etc etc. Has anyone done this before?. Is there a switch or something behind the speedo? If so could you please let me know how and if you had any pics that would be great thanks.

you sure its a 60mph buzzer and maybe not a faulty shift indicator buzzer? 60mph is like 3rd gear, i doubt they'd make 4th and 5th gear full of a loud buzzing nois.

Yeah it's a speed indicator not a rev indicator. It's because the max speed you can do in Japan is 100KPH. That's why they put them in but they stoped doing it in 94 or something I think.

wow really? do they give you like 3speed boxes instead of 5speeds or something? cause in the US our top legal speed is like 65mph but we got no buzzers.

im not being sarcastic, i jst cant believe theyn puit a buzzer on for 60mph.

ecu probably grounds whatever makes the noise so disconnect it form ecu would be my very random guess, and not helpful/descriptive at all.

No She's a 5 speed and has a 180KPH speedo. It doesnt stop you from accelarating faster than that it just beeps at you to tell you your speeding. Over here our max speed is 110KPH so it just comes on and gives me the ***** when I'm just cruising on the Freeway.
