Check Engine Beeper - June 30, 2006
designed by David A. Johnson, P.E.

 

When driving down a busy road, you may not notice a �check engine� indicator light that suddenly turns on within the car�s instrument panel.  You could drive for many miles before noticing the light.  To provide an audible indication of trouble, the hobby circuit below could be added.

When connected to a typical automotive check engine indicator light on the instrument panel, this circuit will sound a loud beeper, when the light turns on.  the hobby circuit counts on the fact that most check engine signals swing from chassis ground potential to +12v.  When the signal is at 12v it turns on, the n-channel FET which activates the beeper.
