odd beep noise from dash? - Toyota 4Runner Forum

Grug556 · 02-15-2023, 12:22 PM

Guys any idea on this one? Took my 16 limited out for a ride yesterday, mostly its garaged while I build it up. Anyhow it sounds like i am getting an electronic intermittent beep noise coming from front dash area, maybe in front of steering wheel area. Its like a beep of something running out of power sort of. Its quite short and comes an intervals every few minutes. Only one beep then nothing. Truck is parked alot but I do keep battery topped up constantly with a charger.

Any ideas on this one? Seems abit weird. Thanks!

Where you driving on a slippery surface or a hill?

I also get a beep intermittently when I shift in and out of park...would be curious to know if anyone has figured out what it is.

No idea where it comes from. It happens during driving, doesnt appear to be shift related, I think. No error lights on dash. INcreasing speed, hills or whatever not an issue. This happened on flat bare dry pavement. Not around bends or otherwise

do you have a dashcam or garage door opener in the vehicle? maybe the rear hatch is not fully closed. do you have a remote start or any aftermarket products where the 'brain' can often be buried behind the dash?

some have reported beeps when shifting from R to D while the car is still moving but it doesn't look like that's the case for you

Got dashcam, but its hard wired. Been in there for years no problems. Dont have remote start of anything yet. My SPOD isnt fully installed yet so its not that. This all happens with lights off to.. so its not my Bajas. Ill check rear hatch. I dunno its odd for sure.

does your dashcam have an SD card? sometimes sounds can seem like they are coming from somewhere when they aren't. a bad or full SD card might make the cam beep. or if the cam isn't recording, it might beep at you
