i was drivin my 87 t2 today and the damn beeping noise started goin off for no reason. every time i turned it would go off and now it just goin off randomly. how could i stop this from happening? thanks for the help.

make sure all fluids are topped off;)

Have you got vehicle speed sensitive power steering? If so, are the beeps in a particular repeating pattern?

eclipseaudio1530 03-26-2004 11:14 PM

mine doesnt have power steering.

eclipseaudio1530 03-27-2004 12:33 AM

there not in a pattern. if i jerk the wheel to either side than right back really quick it beeps really quick than stops. and some times when i am on the gas going through a turn it will just stay on until i start goin straight again.

Is it the same buzzer that goes off when you hit redline? If so then check your fluids. That buzzer means that you are low on either coolant or oil. Or it could be that the sensor is broken and the buzzer goes off for no reason at all. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.png

but if i was low on oil or coolant wouldnt one of the lights on the dash be on?

eclipseaudio1530 03-27-2004 01:10 AM

what about the starting assit fluid?

NCTII87 03-28-2004 09:42 PM

i have that same thing in mine- when i start it, it doesnt coem on

but when it runs for like 30 seconds it comes on and stays on- wtf is it?!

Apollorx7 03-28-2004 09:48 PM

Yes one of the lights should be on but just because they arent dont assume that everything is good. I dont think the starting assist fluid could be a cause, but im not sure https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

The lights can go out by themselves and the buzzer still work.





Is it a beeping or a constant buzzing?

NCTII87 03-29-2004 06:12 AM

mine is constant. his sounds like its either a bad ground or a fluid starting to go low which shifts when he goes around a turn. just my .02 cents. btw- this might be stupid, but what is the starting assist fluid?

Starting assist fluid...



Some, not all, RX-7's were equipped with a system to assist starting the car when it is very cold outside. There is a small tank near the passenger side firewall behind the charcoal canister. This tank is supposed to contain a 90/10 mix of engine coolant. During a cold start, this is injected with the fuel to help start the car when extremely cold.



The car will blow smoke initially as the fluid is burned off.

NCTII87 03-29-2004 09:30 PM

white smoke? smells funky? i havent really looked over mine so i wouldnt know. come on T2's?



beeping noise- checked my oil and coolant- nada- both a fine. wtf can this be?!

gazellis 03-30-2004 06:46 AM

You say that in a turn it stays on constant which makes me think of the low engine coolant warning. You say the engine coolant is fine so maybe it is a faulty sensor. Same possibility with the oil level sensor.

IHEnter 04-02-2004 09:01 PM

mine will do the same thing if i let the coolant get too low and the light comes on. It will only buzz off and on though so i think i have a poor connection and you probably have the same problem. I believe the actual buzzer is right behind the headlight switch behind the insturment cluster if you just wanted to cut the wires to it. just make sure you pay attention to your lights if you do that.
