Ok so when im at a stand still then i take off my car makes the bell sound like when you turn the car on and off. I thought maybe it was low on oil but it is not anybody have any clues as to what it could be.

Thanks
Nick

Is it throwing any codes?

Hows your brake fluid?

If it's low there is either a leak in the system or its time to replace your pads.

How do you know its not oil? Did you check the level, or just look for the light on the dash?

The PCM has no way of sensing oil level. Only oil pressure.

Is your ebrake released? That will cause a chime.

Being low on oil would equal low oil pressure ...

you'd probably see a light come on the dash. If not, check for codes like others have suggested.

my guess is the brake light as well, since I've heard of this happening to a number of dodge vehicles. Check your brake fluid level.

That bell tone is usually followed by some kind of light or indicator on the cluster, otherwise it's hard to say. I guess it could be some kind of malfunction with the pcm.

I had the noise happen a few times, and it was when I downshifted into 2nd before coming to a stop. The oil light would pop on for a split second, fast enough to where I missed it the first time.

Maybe a light on the cluster is on but the bulb burnt out?

Mine does that every now and then without a code- just trying to keep me on my toes, I guess.

Are any of your doors open?

crashpaq · Post by **crashpaq** » Tue Feb 10, 2009 9:02 am

i checked the brake fluid and it was a little low so i added some to it and the sond has not come back.

Thanks

If the oil level was low enough to cause a severe pressure drop, the engine would already be toast.

You really shouldn't have added to your brake reservoir. You need to check your brakes. Brake fluid doesn't go anywhere and unless you bleed (or boil the fluid) you shouldn't ever have to add fluid.

If I had extra money to bet, I would be that your brakes are shot or damn near close.

And now that you have added to it, when you push the piston back in it will come flowing out the cap and make a nice mess.

^^^ turkey basters FTW! Slurrrrp it up....

But it does the trick.

crashpaq · Post by **crashpaq** » Tue Feb 10, 2009 3:45 pm

brakes are fine i just ceramic pads and shoes all around a few months ago the cap was loose on the resevoir so i think some could have leaked out during driving.

Post by **occasional demons** » Tue Feb 10, 2009 9:25 pm

Every time you let off the brake the fluid rushes back, causing it to act like your avatar. The little fountain was prolly hitting the cap and leaking out. Nothing worse than a loose rubber!

mine was really weird, it would only chime when i backed out of 1 laneway uphill but i could never get it to do it anywhere else. i just started regarding it as the idiot chime.

The low brake fluid problem is very common with the 95-99 avenger/sebring/galant/eclipse as well. As the brake pads wear the caliper piston moves in causeing the fluid level to drop. Once it's at the right level it will trigger the light and/or chime once the momentum sloshes the fluid around. The neon is the only one of those cars that chimes in addition to the dash light, the others only trigger the dash light. I'm not sure if it's a sensor placement problem or just a flawed sensor system, but countless threads popped up about it. My avenger did this every time my pads hit the 3/4 wear mark, add a little fluid and it's fixed until the next set of pads.

Had the same experience in my SRT-4. brake light started illuminating under acceleration, though the brake pads were nowhere near worn out. Never heard the chime though -- the car's too loud for that, I guess.

My mechanic checked my brakes today and said that I have lots of wear left (33,500 miles) but the reservoir was a little low. He topped it off.
