Skylark V6-3100 3.1L VIN M SFI (1996)
Audible Warning Device: Description and Operation
Power Output Diagnostic Mode
There is a Power Output Diagnostic Module in the Multi-Function Alarm Module that can be used to run a quick check on the operation of the Parasitic
Power Control, the Courtesy Lights Control and the Inadvertent Power Control outputs. It is activated after all of the following actions have been
performed:
^
Turn Interior Lamps on using Panel Dimmer Switch
^
Set Park Brake.
^
Close all doors.
^
Turn on Radio.
^
Turn Ignition Switch to "RUN" and, before 15 seconds pass, perform these steps.
-
Open the RH front door.
-
Cycle the Headlamp Switch from "PARK" to "OFF" three times.
During normal operations (no trouble found), the Multi-Function Alarm Module will flash the interior lamps until the ignition is turned off. In the event
an internal short is found in the Multi-Function Alarm Module, the module will chime as follows:
^
One chime every three second - Inadvertent output failure.
^
Two chimes every three seconds - Courtesy output failure.
^
Three chimes every three seconds - Parasitic output failure.
NOTE: The Multi-Function Alarm Module can now be reset by a battery disconnect. This can be accomplished by removing the INT LAMP Fuse.
