Dash Beeps

I have a Tunda DC Limited with GPS, JBL radio. I get an intermittent electronic beep coming from behindthe passenger side dashboard. It is somewhat muffled but audible. Because it is intermittent and only occurs while the truck is in motion I can't detect it's origin.

There's no effect on the vehicle (yet). Anyone have this or know anything about it?

Is it happening when you LSd is working...the truck is slipping?

No. There's no ryhme or reason that I can decipher.

Is there something in the passenger seat that may be registering as a body intermittantly?

I have seen posts from others that carry a briefcase or laptop computer that causes the seatbelt buzzer to go off for the passenger seat.

No. I've taken everything from the glove boxes. Had my wife sit in the back seat to listen. The tone is very soft. Nothing like the annoying seatbelt alarm. It is muffled enough so that it is not audible at highway speeds due to road noise. (65 mph).

Just a wild thought. Do you have the park distance sensors? Maybe it is related to them. I know mine were going off yesterday when I had ice on the bumper. Had to turn them off.

I appreciate the idea, but no I don't have the parking sensors; just back up camera. I'm thinking there's something within the dash wiring signalling a low voltage of some kind. Just a wild thought on my part too, because I have NO idea whats going on.

Someone left their cell phone in the glove box, and it is running out of battery.

I thought of that too. You'll see in the thread above that I already checked and emptied the Glove box. Thanks though.

Anybody know what is the beep that happens when the truck hits a pothole? Last Sunday, I drove up into the Olympic National Forest. The "road" had so many deep potholes that you could not avoid them.

While going around a corner or hard on the gas? VSC.

This beep occurs when hitting multiple crater sized potholes at 30 MPH. Not every time but driving for 35 miles on a road full of holes, I hear it often enough.

Mine has a similar beeping but it only comes on during right turns. I can be turning right at about 5 mph and get the beeping or even just jerking the wheel to the right will do it. No wheel spin, no loss of traction, no pedal mashing, just normal driving. It comes and goes but still annoys me cause I here it then I'm looking down at the dash for some sort of idiot light and nothing is flashing or even coming on. I don't get it. Next service I will have the dealer check it out.
