Your air bag light is burnt out. When you have a malfunction in the air bag system usually the air bag light flashes. When its burnt out than there is a chime thats rings repeatedly. You will have to remove the instrument cluster and replace the bulb.

I'm so glad Tom speaks 'beep beep beep beep' a morse code H, but five isn't morse code! like, how in world did Tom know this, an inexperienced GURU has much to learn on the subject of mind tricks. Don't even know what in the hell is going on here. Your car is being secretive...If you had to deal with this in a lonely place, where the only intelligence you get is what it tells you, you'd go mad for lack of common sense solutions to needlessly complicated problems.

tom is right it can beep if there is a fault with the airbag system. but there are a bunch of other things thats could cause it also. dunno how he knows that in this case the light is burnt out?

Have had a few issues with the robot community. They seem to have a problem with physical, tactile interaction...Apologies all around to my robot friends (which I have none) and to all you good people for putting up with an ignoramus like beloved 12th place Guru bob_nueske-

here is a list of what causes the warning chime to activate... The Lighting Control Module (LCM) controls the warning chime function using various inputs to determine when to sound the warning chime. The warning chime sounds if: 1:the headlamps are on with the key removed from the ignition lock cylinder and the driver door ajar. 2:the key is in the ignition lock cylinder in the OFF position with the driver door ajar. 3:a door is ajar with the ignition switch in the ON position. 4:the safety belts are not fastened with the ignition switch in the ON position. 5:the ignition switch is in the ON position and an air bag warning chime request is received by the Instrument Cluster (IC) from the Restraints Control Module (RCM) . 6:the message center displays a warning message (if equipped). 7:a fail safe cooling chime request message is received from the IC by a request from the PCM.
