Bell ringing
 
On my 89 Bonnie,the little bell rings six or eight times whenever I first start up.Idid a scan and the only code was a 19.

Over the course of my lifetime, I've had my bell rung 6 or 8 times....apparently I don't remember the 7th time....

By bell, do you mean the sound like when you open the door while leaving the key in the ignition?

jimmyw Jul 12, 2014 12:12 PM

Yes..The one that rings when the gas is low...I would unhook it if I could find it.

Well ding is better than a car that speaks..like door open!
I remember once renting a car like this cant remember what is was now..all I wanted to know was where the fuse was to turn it off!
Code dtc 19 is not really listed for 3.8 -89. When I google 19 I find -Crank Pos Sensor..??

Yes,and a couple more

Couple more what?

I've heard of an issue like this once with the older models. Something to do with low voltage in the system. IE, bad battery connection/bad battery. I know its just a hunch, but well worth the troubleshooting because it costs nothing.

Thank you..I`ll look for something like that.

You must have got it right..I messed with the battery cables and some more wires and the bell has not rang since.
