    2008 ProXS issue

    I recently was trying to start my engine for the first time this year and ran into an issue, but not sure what the error beeps mean.

    i tried to crank my engine for the first time and once i turned the ignition it beeped once like usual but did not fire up. I reapeated this three times before it finally fired up. it idled normally for about 30 seconds to one minute and then the engine just turned off. Every since when i go to fire it up i get three beeps when i turn the key on but before i try to fire it up. i still hear the fuel pump (i think) when i try to start it. it is 2 full beeps and 1 half beep. Could someone tell me what the 3 beeps mean. I have checked the manual and it does not explain what 3 beeps mean. Any information would be helpful.

    Welcome to BBC!

    Based on your description, you REALLY need to get your engine in to your local dealer.

    Obtain a PRINTOUT of the FREEZE FRAME (FAULT) HISTORY, and the RUN HISTORY.

    Information on which of the MANY potential faults that have occurred WILL be in these printouts.

    I'm always happy to review printouts by email, if you would like.
