Audible Warning Device: Description and Operation
NOTE: The Generic Electronic Module/Central Timer Module (GEM/CTM) is connected to the ISO link and is diagnosed through the Data Link

There are five warning chimes and lamps the GEM/CTM controls: headlamps operating without the ignition on (chime only), door ajar (chime and
lamp), key-in-ignition (chime only), driver seat belt warning (chime and lamp), and message center.
When the ignition key is turned to RUN or START from OFF or ACC, the chime will sound for six seconds or until the safety belt is buckled.
The warning chime will turn on for 60 seconds or until the driver safety belt is fastened. Both the chime and the lamp turn on at the same time.
If the safety belt is buckled before the ignition switch is turned to RUN or START, from OFF or ACC, neither the chime nor lamp will be activated.
Anytime the is changed to RUN from START while the safety belt warning indicator is activated, the safety belt warning indicator will remain activated
until either the Liming sequence has been executed or the safety belt is buckled.
When at least one door is ajar and the key is in the RUN position, the door ajar cluster lamp is activated and remains on until all doors are closed. A
warning tone will sound once any time the key is in the ignition switch and any door is open.
