Default 3 chimes while driving Help Please

All,

Was hoping for some help as I noticed this morning driving to work I have 3 delayed chimes (about 2 sec) and reoccur about every 30 seconds or so. No warning lights or messages. Does anyone know what could be triggering this?

I have searched the forum and can't find anything completely the same as my issue.

Thanks all!

Jason

Not a seatbelt issue or a door not closed all the way? Maybe a dash light is not working. I'm used to older vehicles, but noticed passenger seat filled with heavy weight can trigger seatbelt alarm. Maybe try buckling all front seatbelts. I have a center console, but I'm guessing front center seatbelt on front bench seat would also be triggered.

That's the sound I get if wife doesn't put her seat belt on, or I forgot to hit OK that the TPSM isn't working.

But I get lights warning me also,,, your seat belt light working?

This is happening no matter one or two front passengers. With Driver only and seat belt buckled or with both front passengers and seat belts buckled. No TPMS warning. When Passenger is in vehicle it does show the light highlighting weight in front seat has turned on air bags. Ours also has the Center Console.

When my dog rides with me, he's not heavy enough to turn on the passenger airbag, but he is heavy enough to make the beltminder alert go off (three random chimes every minute or so). I turned the beltminder off for both front seats, no more chiming.

I might try this but had nothing in the passenger seat. Just went out and tested again and the tone from having the drivers seat belt not buckled is different than the tone I'm hearing.

I did have the 911 assist off which I turned on so we will see.

911 assist will only pester you each time you start the truck, "reminding" you it is disabled and offering to enable it.

Default 2021 f150 stx 4x4 5.0

Same thing on my 2021 STX. Just started a couple months ago but very randomly in will get the "seat belt" chime or something similar to it and nothing on the display. Usually it's just myself but they wife has been with me as well and we all have our seat belts on. I've started to wonder if it's just an audible battery warning. Although I've had no issues out of the battery, it is the stock battery from my purchase of the truck in Feb 2021. It's only done it 3 times that I recall and each time while driving, not startup. Weird and a bit irritating!
