99 T & C audible warning

My 99 T & C was giving an audible chime just before coming to a full
stop. Same chime that you get when going to low fuel. Looked in my
owners manual and Haynes book and did not get an indication of what
it was. Last Oil change, I topped everything off, including the brake
master cylinder which was down a little. Chime has stopped. Was that
it?

 

Since it is now no longer chiming, I am guessing it might have been low on
windshield washer fluid in the reservoir. When you stopped the fluid would
move forward and the sensor would momentarily determine low fluid and
sounding the chime and lighting the indicator. Then the fluid would shift
back and the indicator light would quickly go out.

Another less likely possibility is totally unrelated and would not have
likely stopped when you changed the oil and filed the fluids ... a
misaligned or defective door switch which could also show a door as ajar for
a brief instant if the body flexed just right during braking.

more then likely it was low brake fluid, if that is the case you may want to
have your brakes checked, this could be an indication that the linnings are
low
