Default gong/catalytic converter warn

Does anyone know what this relay does?

It looks like it has a small speaker on top of it. Mine happens to be buzzing quietly.

Couldn't find anything on it when searching the forum.

thanks!

Not exactly sure, but maybe it's that annoying door chime.

Sorry for the OT, but are you an instructor, or just a jockey?

In a previous life I was a 60 chief... Dustoff Hawaii 68th med via Camp Humphreys Korea, via Ft Hood...

Any chance you know Dave Mozden? I used his Van after I shipped my car out before I ETSed... Used to exchange E-mails with him on a regular basis..and then they stopped...

There should be a beep everytime a door is open and the key is left in the ignition. Overtime these relays fail and will only buzz quietly. Sometimes ive heard them on whenever the door opens.

In 85.5+ cars it will go on for six seconds while starting the car if your seatbelt is unbuckled. The seat belt light will also illuminate as a reminder to buckle up


The reason it says Catalytic converter warning is because in Japan, that warning goes off when there is a problem with the catalytic converter.

Just a jockey. At the AVN CPT Career course right now; going to try to pick up the MTP course afterward.

Small world! Dave Mozden was the PC officer at my last unit! Good guy.
