Don:

I saw a few dated posts on this but no consistent resolution (that I could find). Engine will give the usual short beep when turning the key on, and will periodically give a short second beep when turning the engine over. Motor always starts right up, no SmartCraft warnings, and all seem fine. The cranking battery is on a trickle charger so it should be fully charged.

Any new info on the periodic second beep for this motor?
