Any time your warning horn sounds it's time to be concerned.
A continuous steady beep sound comes from either of your two overheat sensors (one on each head) closing and sends a signal to your warning module (ECU) mounted on your powerhead, which in turn makes a completed circuit and sounds the horn in your remote control shift box.
The intermitent beeping sound comes from your oil quantity (low oil) indicator circuit, meaning that the oil in your reservoir is down to the last quart.
