One way to disable a vehicle's warning chime without affecting the
intended functions of that circuit is to disconnect the speaker on the
chime module. This can be done by temporarily removing the module and
breaking one of the wires to the speaker or by cutting the printed
circuit trace which goes to the speaker on the PC board. When the module
is reinstalled it will still work properly but there won't be any
audible chime sound.
AFAIK, no vehicle computer is designed (smart enough) to detect a failed
warning chime speaker, providing the module itself is otherwise
functional. This means there shouldn't be any computer warning
associated with this modification.
