Liberty Sport 2WD L4-2.4L VIN 1 (2002)
-
No Airbag Indicator Message Warning - The EMIC chime tone generator will generate one, short, "bong-like" chime tone and turn ON the
"Airbag" indicator when the ignition switch is in the ON position, and a PCI data bus "Airbag" indicator ON or OFF message is not received
from the ACM for six consecutive seconds.
-
No Antilock Brake Indicator Message Warning - The EMIC chime tone generator will generate one, short, "bong-like" chime tone and turn
ON the "ABS" indicator when the ignition switch is in the ON position, and a PCI data bus "ABS" indicator ON or OFF message is not
received from the CAB for six consecutive seconds.
-
No Fuel Level Message Warning - The EMIC chime tone generator will generate one, short, "bonglike" chime tone and turn ON the "Low
Fuel" indicator when the ignition switch is in the ON position, and a PCI data bus fuel level message is not received from the PCM for twelve
consecutive seconds.
-
Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Programming - On vehicles so equipped, the EMIC chime tone generator will generate a single
"bonglike" chime tone when an electronic message is received over the PCI data bus from the BCM indicating that a Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter has been successfully programmed by the customer into the RKE module memory.
-
Sentry Key Immobilizer System Transponder Programming - On vehicles so equipped, the EMIC chime tone generator will generate a
single "bong-like" chime tone when an electronic message is received over PCI data bus message from the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module
(SKIM) indicating that the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) has been placed in the "Customer Learn" programming mode, and again
each time a new SKIS transponder has been successfully programmed by the customer.
-
Turn Signal Cancel Warning - The EMIC chime tone generator will generate repetitive "bonglike" chime tones at a slow rate when the
vehicle is driven for a distance of about 3.2 kilometers (about two miles) with a turn signal indicator flashing. The EMIC uses an electronic
message received over the PCI data bus from the PCM, and a hard wired input from the turn signal switch circuitry of the multi- function
switch to determine when to sound the turn signal cancel warning. The PCM uses internal programming and distance pulse information
received over a hard wired vehicle speed pulse input from the BCM to determine the proper vehicle speed messages to send to the EMIC. The
BCM uses an internally programmed electronic pinion factor and a hard wired input from the rear wheel speed sensor to calculate the proper
distance pulse information to send to the PCM. The electronic pinion factor represents the proper tire size and axle ratio information for the
vehicle. These chimes will continue to sound until the turn signal is turned OFF, until the hazard warning system is turned ON, or until the
ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
-
Water-In-Fuel Warning - On vehicles equipped with a diesel engine, each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the EMIC
chime tone generator will generate a single "bong-like" chime tone the first time an electronic message is received over the PCI data bus from
the PCM requesting "Water-in-Fuel" indicator illumination. The PCM uses internal programming and a hard wired input from the water-in-fuel
sensor to determine the proper water- in-fuel messages to send to the EMIC. This warning will only occur once during an ignition cycle.
The EMIC provides chime service for all available features in the chime warning system. The EMIC relies upon its internal programming and hard
wired inputs from the turn signal (multi-function) switch, the washer fluid level switch, and the engine coolant level sensor (diesel engine only) to
provide chime service for the turn signal cancel warning, the low washer fluid warning, and the low coolant warning respectively. The EMIC 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 EMIC activates the integral chime tone generator to provide the
audible chime warning to the vehicle operator. The internal programming of the EMIC determines the priority of each chime request input that is
received, as well as the rate and duration of each chime tone that is to be generated. See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for more
information on the features provided by the chime warning system.
The hard wired chime warning system inputs to the EMIC, as well as other hard wired circuits for this system may be diagnosed and tested using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. However, conventional diagnostic methods may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the EMIC,
the PCI data bus network, or the electronic message inputs used by the EMIC to provide chime warning system service. The most reliable,
efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the EMIC, the PCI data bus network, and the electronic message inputs for the chime warning system
requires the use of a DRBIII scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
