Chime/Buzzer - Chime Warning System
CHIME WARNING SYSTEM
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before
attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or instrument panel component
diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground) cable. Wait two minutes for the system capacitor to
discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. On vehicles equipped with the optional Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)
system, a technician trained in proper HEV service safety procedures must also remove the high voltage service disconnect from
the high voltage battery pack. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in
accidental airbag deployment. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
The hard wired circuits between components related to the chime warning system may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of
wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the chime warning system or the electronic controls or
communication between modules and other devices that provide some features of the chime warning system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the chime warning system or the electronic controls and communication related to chime warning system operation requires the use of
a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
