Audible Warning Device: Description and Operation
CHIME/BUZZER
The chime warning/reminder system includes signals for fasten seat belts, certain warning indicators, exterior lamps left ON, key left in ignition and door
ajar.
For diagnosis and testing, use the DRBIII(R) scan tool and the proper Body Diagnostic Procedures manual.
DOOR AJAR CHIME
The BCM will sound an audible chime when the key is in the ignition and the drivers door is open. This is to prevent partial closing of vehicle doors.
An audible chime will sound when the vehicle begins to move and the transmission range indicator display will indicate DOOR.
ENHANCED SEAT BELT REMINDER
If all the following are met after sixty seconds with the engine ON, then the enhanced seat belt reminder feature will be activated.
-
Driver seat belt is unbuckled for ten seconds or more.
-
Vehicle speed is greater than five mph (8 km/h).
-
The gear positioning is not in REVERSE (except in MTX vehicles where the reverse position can not be detected).
The seat belt indicator will periodically blink, accompanied with a continuous chime for approximately ninety-six seconds or until the driver seat belt is
buckled. When the enhanced seat belt feature is not initiated or if the feature is disabled, the seat belt indicator will be turned ON continuously until the
driver seat belt is buckled.
In the same ignition cycle, if the seat belt is again unbuckled for more than ten seconds with the vehicle speed greater than five mph (8 km/h), the
enhanced seat belt reminder feature will again be initiated.
The enhanced seat belt reminder feature is customer programmable and can be enabled/disabled with the use of a DRBIII(R) scan tool, or by the
customer completing a sequence of steps.
