Town & Country V6-3.8L VIN L (2006)
-
The cluster will chime continuously at a slow rate for a period of 6 seconds and illuminate the Seat Belt Lamp after turning the ignition to the
run/start position if the driver/passenger seat belt is unbuckled. After 6 seconds the chime will stop, but the Seat Belt Lamp will stay illuminated.
If the ignition is in the run position for a period greater than 60 seconds, and the driver/passenger seat belt is unbuckled, and the vehicle's speed
is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h) in a forward gear, the Enhanced Fasten Seat Belt Reminder will activate. This will cause the Seat Belt Lamp to
blink and a slow continuous chime to sound for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, the chime will stop, but the lamp will remain illuminated for an
additional 3 seconds. The Enhanced Seat Belt Reminder cycles for a total of 12 times (96 seconds). After the 12th time, the Seat Belt Lamp will
remain on without any chime. Buckling the driver/passenger seat belt at anytime will cancel the Fasten Seat Belt Reminder announcement.
The seat belt indicator includes a programmable enhanced seat belt reminder or "beltminder" feature that is enabled when the vehicle is shipped from the
factory. This beltminder feature can be disabled and enabled by the customer using a specific programming event sequence, or by the dealer using a
diagnostic scan tool.
EXTERIOR LIGHTS ON
Chime sounds if the ignition is in the lock position, the drivers door is ajar, and the headlight switch is in any position other than auto or off. The chime
will continue to sound until anyone of the above conditions change or the battery protection time of 3 minutes expires.
KEY - IN IGNITION
Chime sounds if the key is in the ignition, the ignition is in the lock position, and the drivers door is ajar. The chime will continue to sound until anyone
of the above conditions change or the battery protection time of 15 minutes expires.
TURN SIGNAL ON
If the BCM detects a turn signal input continuously for 1.0 mile (0.6 km) and the vehicle speed is greater than 15 mph (24 km/h), the cluster will
chime continuously and display an EVIC warning message, until the turn signal is cancelled.
LOW OIL PRESSURE
Chime sounds when the engine is operating and the oil pressure drops below 4 psi/27.5 kPa.
ENGINE TEMPERATURE CRITICAL
Chime sounds when the engine is operating and the coolant temperature exceeds 252° F (122° C). The chime is continuous at 257° F (125° C) and will
chime for 4 minutes and stop if the temperature drops below 243° F (117° C).
LOW WASHER FLUID
Chime sounds when the washer fluid drops below a specific level.
WARNING LAMP ANNOUNCEMENT
Chime sounds to alert the driver to scan the EVIC (in the cluster) to see which EVIC warning message displayed. The door/liftgate ajar warning message
will display (without a chime) if the vehicle is running and a door or the liftgate is open. A chime will sound if the door or liftgate is still open when
vehicle speed is greater than 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
WARNING LAMP ANNOUNCEMENT
LOW FUEL LAMP
The cluster will sound a single chime, illuminate an amber lamp, and display an EVIC warning message after illuminating the indicator.
VOLT LAMP
The cluster will sound a single chime after illuminating the indicator.
OIL PRESSURE LAMP
The cluster will sound a single chime after illuminating the indicator above 450 rpm vehicle operation.
FASTEN SEAT BELT LAMP
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with the Occupant Classification System (OCS), this will apply to the front passenger seat belt as well.
There are two different Fasten Seat Belt Reminder announcements incorporated into the cluster's logic, a Non-enhanced announcement and an Enhanced
announcement.
