beeping from dashboard
01 Escape V6 auto
Has a beeping sound from dashboard after start up, It beeps 5 times evenly spaced and repeats this sound 5 times.
Ran OBDII and scanned shows no codes running or in memory.
Sitting in seat, key on ALL lights are on in dash cluster like normal.
Start engine and lights go out, 5 seconds later you hear it beep 5 times and will repeat those 5 beeps 5 times and then nothing.
Runs fine and its not the normal bell tone sounds like not having seatbelt fastened.
When it is going thru its beeping, There is no lights flashing in the cluster at all. I watched all of them very closely for any indication of fault.
Anyone have an idea?
Thanks

Are you SURE the airbag light proves out?
From the manual: "If the air bag indicator does not function, and the system detects a fault condition, the RCM will signal the instrument cluster to activate an audible chime. The chime is a series of five sets of five tone bursts. If the chime is heard, the SRS and the air bag indicator require repair."

Fixed... Seems the bulb for the airbag system only worked sometimes.
One time it would light, till hitting a bump then it would go out.
After removing the cluster and bulb checked with ohm meter and shook it.
Replaced bulb and all is well now.
