2002 V8

over the last few weeks ive been getting a gong go off on start up from cold, seems to do it for a few days then nothing for a few weeks, then does it again. Only from cold though and its a single chime but no warning message and everything seems fine..

any ideas




cheers

If you have waited till all the lights on the dash go out then confirmation that the self check has been done and all is correct.

If you start the engine before the lights go out you don't get the chime. John

thanks mate, ill check that out. just strange its not happened before the last few weeks, but sounds like your could be right as i remember seeing the battery light go out just after the gong

if the temp has been below 4 degrees then you'll get that warning.. ... - .- -.

Correct Stan although, as I understand it, you can set the temperature.

I was probably confusing it with the D2.  John

still did it today from cold after i left it a little while between ignition and starting for the lights to go out, drove 10 miles then was parked up all day on a farm, then did it again on way home only this time HDC inactive flashed up for a few seconds then went off. Drove perfect the 10 miles home then i stoped and started it again and it didnt gong. Defo only does it from cold..

been chilly around here in the sticks today but not that cold...

I'd check the battery voltage...  Pete

low temp warning? 2004 L322 V8

It sounds like the low outside temperature warning. However when the engine is warm, the heat will get to the outside temperature sensor (when the car is sitting still) and "raise" the outside temp measurement.

I seem to remember that with the Faultmate you can play with the chime for cold outside and maybe even at which temperature you want it to do so. But not sure at all. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

thanks, makes sense as only started doing this since the weather got colder. And once engines warm it dosent do it until car left all day or over night..

ebajema and chex, you still asleep this morning...
