ECU beeps @ different volumes at startup????
You know the five or so beeps the ECU gives when you startup.....well sometimes mines beeps fine, sometimes I can only just hear it, sometimes none at all.
Anyone else had this/know remedy?
Cheers

The 480 will beep 5 or 6 times when you turn the ignition if your seatbelt isn't plugged in (and assuming your pressure sensor in your seat works) - to the non beeping people, does your seatbelt-not-plugged-in light come on when you dont have the belt plugged in? If not then thats why you have no beep ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

the Beep comes from the CEM, not the ECU. Maybe you connected the two contoller connectoprs to the control mode, and you are actually doing (whats left over/or part of the test mode??????)
Maybe else your CEM is getting senile.
This in the worst case. In any other it could be the belt warning, as I understand now some new 480 owners have.

Well I had a failing CEM which started with demist problems... But since you had beeps prior to your problems I don't have a clue what problem might be, sorry.
In any case I hope it isn't your CEM, cause that isn't cheap...![Surprised :eek:](./images/smilies/eek.gif)

Strange ... the volume of the beeps is getting lower and lower...
A few months ago I could easily hear them (even annoying when using the direction indicator...), but now I can hardly hear the beeps.
I also have the impression that there is more than one beeper, since I hear beeps at different frequencies (am I correct?)
I hear beeps when:
- using the direction indicator
- switching off the engine
- leaving the pop-ups up when switching off the engine and taking uot the key
