Grand Prix V6-3100 3.1L MFI VIN M (1994)
Audible Warning Device: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
Fasten Belts Warning
The Chime Module applies voltage to the Seat Belt Switch at all times. The Chime Module senses a voltage drop at the Seat Belt Input through the
closed contacts of the Seat Belt Switch when the driver's seat belt is unlatched. When the driver's seat belt is latched, the Seat Belt Switch is opened and
the Chime Module senses voltage at the Seat Belt Input. When the Ignition Switch is turned to "RUN," voltage is applied to the Chime Module Ignition
Switch Input. When voltage is present at the Ignition Switch Input and 0 volt at the Seat Belt Input, the Chime Module will sound the Fasten Belts
Warning for 4 to 5 seconds. If voltage is present at the Ignition Switch Input and the Seat Belt Input, the Chime Module will disable the Fasten Belts
Warning.
General Informations
The Chime Module generates audible warnings for four conditions: Lights "ON" Warning, Ignition Key Warning, Fasten Belts Warning and Turn Signal
Warning. The Lights "ON" Warning and Turn Signal Warning are pulsed approximately once every one half second, sounding the quickest. The
Ignition Key Warning is pulsed once every second. The Fasten Belts Warning is a continuous tone.
Ignition Key Warning
The Chime Module applies voltage at all times to the Ignition Key Warning Switch. When the Ignition Key is placed into the Ignition Switch, the
Ignition Key Warning Switch is closed. When the LH front door is open, the LH Front Door Jamb Switch closes the circuit to ground. The Chime
Module senses a voltage drop at the Ignition Key Input and will sound the Ignition Key Warning.
Lamps-ON Warning Alarm
When the Headlight Switch is in "PARK" or "HEAD," voltage is applied to the Lights "ON" Input of the Chime Module. When the Ignition Switch is
turned out of the "RUN" position, voltage is removed from the Ignition Switch Input of the Chime Module. When voltage is present at the Lights "ON"
Input and no voltage applied to the Ignition Switch Input, the Chime Module will sound the Lights "ON" Warning.
Turn Signal on Chime
When a turn signal is operated, voltage is alternately applied and removed to Chime Module Connector C2, terminal "A". The module begins to monitor
vehicle distance at connector C2, terminal "B". If the Turn Signal is still flashing after the vehicle has traveled 0.8 kilometers (0.5 miles), the Turn
Signal Warning chime will sound.
