Audible Warning Device: Testing and Inspection
Chime System Diagnosis
NO TONE WHEN IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED ON AND DRIVER'S SEAT BELT IS NOT BUCKLED.
1. Using a DRB III scan tool, check for tone in any other function.
2. Using a voltmeter, check for voltage:
a. Pin 9 of the internal 32 way connector of the BCM for battery feed.
b. Pin 11 of the internal 32 way connector of the BCM for ignition feed.
c. If voltage OK, go to step Step 3
d. If NO voltage repair as necessary.
3. Check driver's seat belt buckle switch input for a closed circuit when not buckled. If input not seen, look for open in wiring or switch. The switch
is grounded when belt is not buckled.
4. Repair as necessary.
NO FASTEN SEAT BELT LAMP WHEN IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED ON.
1. Check for burned out lamp.
2. Using a voltmeter check for voltage:
a. Pin 2 of the mechanical instrument cluster for battery feed.
b. Pin 11 of the mechanical instrument cluster for ignition voltage.
3. Repair as necessary.
FASTEN SEAT BELT LAMP OR TONE CONTINUES FOR MORE THAN 10 SECONDS AFTER SEAT BELTS ARE FASTENED AND
DRIVER'S DOOR IS CLOSED.
Refer to Body Control Module Testing and Inspection.
NO TONE WHEN PARK OR HEADLAMPS ARE ON AND DRIVER'S DOOR IS OPEN.
Make sure ignition is in lock position with the key removed.
1. Check left door ajar switch for good ground when driver's door is open. Repair as necessary.
2. Inspect BCM connectors and wires for proper connection. If OK, replace BCM for tone condition.
Dome Lamp ON Chime
The Dome Lamp ON chime will warn the driver that the dome lamps have been left on.
With the ignition switch OFF:
-
Driver's door OPEN (door ajar switch is closed to ground)
-
Dome lamps are ON (dome lamp switch is closed to ground),
The chime will sound continuously until driver's door is closed, dome lamps turned OFF or until the battery protection time out of 15 minutes has
expired. Chime rate: 168 to 192 chimes per minute.
Engine Temperature High and Critical Chime
The engine temperature critical chime will warn the driver that the vehicle's engine is overheating. While monitoring the coolant temperature, the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) will send on the CCD bus as engine temperature every 1.376 seconds to the Body Control Module (BCM). The
BCM calculates engine temperature and determines if a warning should occur. This feature is functional only with the Ignition Switch in the
RUN/START position.
When the engine temperature reaches 122 °C (252 °F) the BCM will chime one tone and the engine temperature lamp comes ON. The BCM turns OFF
the lamp when the engine temperature reaches 117 °C (242 °F). The BCM will chime continuously when the engine temperature reaches 125 °C (257 °
F). The chime will turn OFF after four minutes or when the temperature reaches 117 °C (242 °F), which ever occurs first.
Exterior Lamps ON Chime
The Exterior Lamp ON chime will warn the driver that the exterior lights have been left on.
With the ignition switch OFF:
-
Driver's door is open (door ajar switch is closed to ground)
-
Parking lamps or headlamps ON (parking lamp switch is closed to ground)
The chime will sound until lights are turned OFF, driver's door is closed or until the battery protection time out of 3 minutes has expired.
Refer to Lamps, for proper service procedures. Chime rate: 168 to 192 chimes per minute.
To test the exterior lamps left on function:
-
Turn ignition OFF
-
Remove ignition key
