Dinging sound on my 2006 Lexus IS wont stop....

Question

I hit a litte pot hole and now when I turn the dinging/beeping sound that is usually for when you are not wearing your seatbelt goes off.. even though I have my belt on... any suggestions to what is wrong?

thanks

Answer 1

Usually there is a picture of a seat belt or door displayed on the instrument panel when this alarm goes off. If no picture displayed, then is it a sound like the alarm that is coming from under the car. There are numerous heat shields under the car that can make a "dinging" sound. Also since this is a 2006, have the dealer check it out. Unless the "little pot hole" damaged the car it should be under warranty.

Answer 2

it would be my best guess the your seat weight sensors mite be outof calibration due to the shock of pothole damage. bring to your dealer to verify concern

Answer 3

If you have less than 50,000 miles, the vehicle is still under warranty.  

Go to the nearest dealership.

Fixing this problem will be no cost to you.
