It's a beep-beep- at 75 mph- 3100 rpm- but not related to rpm- for example, taking up to 3100 rpm in neutral wil not set off the beep-there has to be simple way to reset-just do not know how-

Do any of the warning lights light up? Any symbols suddenly appear on the instrument cluster? Does it beep a few times then stop? Or does it keep beeping as long as you're at 75 or higher?

Maybe a TPMS sensor is sending wierd signals to the receiver? I know it's not supposed to sound any tone above a certain speed, but check your tire pressures. See if the dealer can run a diagnostic on that system.

The only time I've heard a beep at a particular speed was in Bahrain. In some Mid East countries, it's law that a warning buzzer goes off about 100 KHP (it's been two years, forgot the exact speed). We just used to turn the radio louder. Never heard of it in an American car though.

I too had the beeping
Hi,
I had my instrument cluster replaced.. When they put in the new cluster I had the beep at 75 mph - DROVE me crazy.
University Mazda, Seattle conferenced with Mazda California and Japan and they could NOT diagnose it. They dug into the PCM, cluster, you name it.
In the end - NEW intrument cluster - beeping went away. And they thought I was off my rocker when I first told them about it. I said - Here's the keys. The mechanic came back speechless.
So, I am on my 3rd cluster (orig replace with beeper, then 3rd to fix the beeping). The good thing is I have 8,500 LESS miles on my odometer as the miles get reset on each new cluster

I thought that I was loosing my mind!!! Mine does the same thing, I've re-read the OM, tried every setting and button in the car. My next step in back to the dealer I guess. Just had the car a month so I hope there is not an issue with correcting this. I'll keep you posted, and thanks for the post!!

Yeah. When I had an instrument cluster replaced in a previous car, they had to hold the car while they waited for a PRE-SET MILAGE cluster to be delivered. As in I coulnd't put more miles on it until they delivered the one with identical miles to replace the old. They said it was a government reg.

there is a Can module that records the mileage that is supposed to be used to set the mileage on the new cluster. if its not done correctly then you can lose mileage. but it would have to be noted somewhere. as mentioned above this is illegal to roll back an odo.
