Default Random chime from DIC

Anyone have any idea on why I would get a random chime from the DIC? It happens while I am driving and I can't figure out any reason for it. No warning messages or lights come on.

Could it be a problem with the harness adapter for my Pioneer HU?

Interesting, how often does it happen? Just a single chime, does not seem like it would be a issue with the HU wiring. No even causes it like changing vol, channels, etc?
This could be hard to find, I would reveiw all my settings on the DIC and see if you might have something turned on that would cause it, not sure what but that is where I would go first.

Does it happen while motoring down the road, or only when waiting at a stop light ?

I checked the DIC options and did not see anything there. It is a single chime that sounds like it is coming right from the DIC. It will randomly happen at infrequent intervals while driving. Whenever it chimes I always look to see if some warning light is on or if the DIC is flashing a message but nothing.

It seemed to have started right after I had an oil change done at the dealer. Could there be some setting that they messed with?

Check your oil life monitor. That might need to be reset.

Good idea!

Hold the reset button down about 5 seconds or more until the oil life indicates 99% (will never indicate 100%)

thptrek,
I would try manually resetting the oil display and if that doesn't work I would recommend taking it to the dealer to have them run a diagnostic. Let us know what you find out!
