Default 5 beeps coming from the dash area

Whenever this 2003 XKR is started, after a few moments there will be a series of 5 beeps emitted for 3-5 times. This will stop then and after a drive of say 30 minutes, this will repeat.
No lights or codes that I can find.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Probably the CLIMATE CONTROL DISPLAY UNIT.
It should have the message ER and a numerical DTC.

Thanks, and you give me far more credit than I deserve.


The attached shows how to interrogate climate control and what most of the codes mean (except the dreaded '17')

Thanks @michaelh
I haven't done that check in years and forgot all about it. Not sure if that is the cause of the beeps but I found 4 codes stored. Cant recall if there is a way to manually clear them though and one code has be baffled.
Got codes 11, 14, 23 and 44.
No idea what the 44 means. Any idea?
FYI, the HVAC system seems to work perfectly

FYI, not a pep of a beep since I read the codes but havent used the HVAC system since.
THanks for the info on code 44.
Any way to clear old codes or do they clear automatically once the repairs have been done?

@Pistnbroke So let me get this straight. You are saying i should actually read the directions rather than rely on my bad memory?
Thanks! I needed that

Okay, here is the latest. I checked but did not clear the 4 faults yesterday and for the first time ever, I drove the car without hearing those beeps.
Well, today I cleared the 4 faults and started getting beeps again!
I checked for recurring faults and there were none. A big fat "0".
Did this twice and no faults but got the 4 sets of 5 beeps again.
Any more ideas?
I appreciate the help so far.
Thanks
