beeps from Hilux

Gday Twinkles
Sounds like the E tag needs more money.

hey twinkles, you dont say when it does it ,where it comes from or how old the hilux is but mine is an 07 diesel and it emits a long beep from the engine bay each time i switch it off. Toyota told me a few beeps are normal and unless a light is on dont worry about it. Sounded like bull to me but i have 170000k on it now and still no probs

hello Twinkles.
Mine is a 2002 and it beeps if i open the drivers door when the lights are still on.hope this helps Bill.

It's an 06 Hilux and none of the above the answer. It happens while being driven. Once going hard through Black Spur, winding road. Other times towing large trailer.

If this happens when turning the alarm on it usually indicates a door
or bonnet has been left open.

Check all the door and bonnet switches for correct operation.

If it happens after the car has been sitting for awhile it might be a warning alarm. Cars fitted with microwave movement sensors have two alarm levels, if
someone gets close to the car and touches it it will give a few warning chirps
to tell them to move away. If you put a hand through an open window then the alarm will go into full warning mode and sound and flash lights.

In the second case if the sensitivity is set to high, trees braches moving near the car, people walking past, wind, rain etc will set it off.

To test walk around the car keeping a couple of centimeters away from the car and the alarm should not sound. Ran your hands down a window and it should.

Check if it's the water in the fuel filter alarm.Maybe there is just enough in it to sound now and again.

Yes it's the small symbol on the right hand side of the timing chain light. It's not hard to take off the fuel filter and drain it out .It can't hurt and is good to do it now and again anyway.
