The CTM provides chime service for all available features in the chime warning system. The CTM relies upon its internal programming and hard
wired inputs from the door ajar switches, the headlamp switch, and the key-in ignition switch (ignition switch) to provide chime service for the
head/park/courtesy lights-on reminder, the key-in ignition reminder, and the door ajar warning. The CTM relies upon electronic message inputs
received from other electronic modules over the PCI data bus network to provide chime service for all of the remaining chime warning system
features. Upon receiving the proper inputs, the CTM activates the integral chime tone generator to provide the audible chime tone to the vehicle
operator. The chime tone generator in the CTM is capable of producing a single short beep and repeated chime tones at two different rates, slow or
fast. The slow chime rate is about fifty chime tones per minute, while the fast chime rate is about 180 chime tones per minute. The internal
programming of the CTM determines the priority of each chime tone request input that is received, as well as the rate and duration of each chime
tone that is to be generated.
The hard wired chime warning system inputs to the CTM, as well as other hard wired circuits for this system may be diagnosed and tested using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. See the Owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for more information on the features provided by
the chime warning system.
