Hi guys,
My ME3 alarm is sounding. I have the beep every 3 seconds, and constant beep over 3000 rpm. It starts when I turn the ignition on, first the normal test beep then the soft alarm. That I get it without even starting the engine tells me it is a sensor fault.
The engine is running fine, no overheat, no oil pressure drop. Plenty of oil in the drive oil reservoir. Just the {>{~*||+}%%€ alarm....
So how do I figure out which sensor that have gone bad? As far as I know there are only water temp (located at the goose nevk thermostat), oil pressure (located near the distributor) and drive lube reservoir level sensor. I have tried to disconnect them one by one, but no change. What should I do next?
Regards,
Johan

I tried that, but no change unfortunately. I also tried to remove all three, and still no change. Then I measured the resistance in the oil pressure alarm sender, got no resistanceso I replaced for one measured to around 20 Ohms. Still no change....
I am getting somewhat concerned, to be honest. I don't know where to look next!
Is the alarm really just covering these 3? Meaning oil pressure, water temp, drive lube.
Please let me know, I am going crazy with that sound.
