Troubleshooting Hints - Chime
PERFORM BEFORE BEGINNING SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS:
NOTE: The Multi-Function Alarm Module will "go to sleep" 3 or 20 minutes after "key off" depending if the vehicle has traveled over 15 miles. Until
the Multi-Function Alarm Module "goes to sleep," it will draw
60-80ma. Once the Multi-Function Alarm Module "goes to sleep," the amperage draw
will drop to
3-15ma.
1. Check the ALARM Fuse, INSTR/PCM Fuse, and the INT LAMP Fuse by visual inspection.
^
Check for a broken (or partially broken) wire inside of the insulation which could cause system failure but prove "GOOD" in a continuity/voltage
check
(refer to "General Troubleshooting Procedures,"). See: Diagrams/Diagnostic Aids
^
Check for proper installation of aftermarket electronic equipment which may affect the integrity of other systems
(refer to "General
Troubleshooting Procedures,").
