switch input, key-in-switch and driver’s door input
and Chime Output Test.

(3) Check key-in switch.
(4) Inspect Body Control Module connectors and

wires for proper connection.

(5) Remove Body Control Module from Junction

Block. Check for battery voltage at terminal JB-12
and ignition feed at terminal JB-6 of Body Control
Module. Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams for ter-
minal location.

(6) If voltage not OK, repair as necessary.

CHIMES CONTINUE WHEN HEADLAMPS ARE
TURNED OFF AND/OR KEY IS REMOVED FROM
IGNITION

(1) Use DRB lll

t scan tool to perform CCD diag-

nostics on Body Control Module for headlamp or key-
in-ignition inputs.

(2) Check wiring for a grounded condition between

key-in switch and Body Control Module. Check head-
lamp switch to Body Control Module wiring for short
to battery.

(3) Inspect Body Control Module connectors and

wires for proper connection.

EXTERIOR LAMPS LEFT ON

To test the headlamps left on function, turn igni-

tion off, turn exterior lamps on with driver’s door
open. Chime should sound until headlamps are
turned off or drivers door is closed.

FASTEN SEAT BELTS

To test, the ignition switch must be in the off posi-

tion before testing the fasten seat belts. Turn the
ignition switch to the ON position with the driver’s

seat belt unbuckled and fully retracted. The seat belt
warning lamp should light for 4 to 8 seconds and the
tone should sound 4 to 8 seconds.

KEY LEFT IN IGNITION SWITCH

To test the key left in ignition function:
• The ignition switch must be in the OFF position

with key in ignition.

• Driver’s door open.

• Chime should sound until key is removed from

ignition or drivers door is closed.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

The chime warning/reminder system provides audi-

ble and/or visual signals to remind the driver of
unfastened seat belts, exterior lamps left ON, key
left in ignition, door ajar and if equipped, high vehi-
cle speed.

FASTEN SEAT BELTS

A warning lamp on the instrument panel, and if

equipped an audible chime tone are used as the fas-
ten seat belt warning/reminder.

EXTERIOR LAMPS LEFT ON

An audible chime tone that indicates the exterior

lamps were left on.

KEY LEFT IN IGNITION

An audible chime tone that indicates the key was

left in ignition.

DOOR AJAR

A warning lamp on the instrument panel, and if

equipped an audible chime tone are used as the door
ajar warning/reminder.

HIGH VEHICLE SPEED WARNING CHIME

If equipped, an audible chime will sound continu-

ously any time the vehicle speed is 120 Km/h or
faster.

FASTEN SEAT BELT WARNING CHIME/LAMP

On some vehicles the seat belt indicator lamp will

remain on continuously anytime the ignition switch
is on and the driver is not wearing the seat belt.

When using the (DRB III) scan tool, refer to the

appropriate Body Chassis Diagnostic Manual for the
diagnostic procedure.

To test, the ignition switch must be in the off posi-

tion before testing the fasten seat belts. Turn the
ignition switch to the ON position with the driver’s
seat belt unbuckled and fully retracted. The seat belt
warning lamp should light for 4 to 8 seconds and if
equipped a tone should sound 4 to 8 seconds.

HIGH SPEED WARNING CHIME

Some vehicles are equipped with an audible high

speed warning chime that will sound continuously
any time the vehicle speed reaches 120 Km/h or
faster.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

CHIME CONDITIONS

NO TONE WHEN IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED ON
AND DRIVERS SEAT BELT IS UNBUCKLED AND
FULLY RETRACTED

(1) Check driver’s seat belt retractor switch for a

ground when belt is retracted.

(2) Use scan tool to perform CCD diagnostics on

Body Control Module for battery, ignition and seat
belt switch inputs.

(3) Use scan tool to perform actuator diagnostics

on Body Control Module Chime.

(4) Check for tone in any other function.
(5) Remove Body Control Module from Junction

Block. Check for battery voltage at terminal JB-12
and ignition feed at terminal JB-6 of Body Control
Module (Fig. 2). Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams
for terminal location.

(6) If voltage not OK, repair as necessary.

NO FASTEN SEAT BELT LAMP WHEN IGNITION
SWITCH IS TURNED ON

(1) Use scan tool to perform CCD diagnostics on

Body Control Module for battery and ignition switch
inputs.

(2) Check for burned out bulb.
(3) Using the scan tool, do the actuator test on

cluster. Refer to proper Body Diagnostic Manual.

(4) Remove Body Control Module from Junction

Block. Check for battery voltage at terminal JB-12
and ignition feed at terminal JB-6 of Body Control
Module. Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams for ter-
minal location.

(5) If voltage not OK, repair as necessary.

FASTEN SEAT BELT LAMP OR TONE CONTINUE
FOR MORE THAN 10 SECONDS AFTER SEAT
BELTS ARE FASTENED AND IGNITION ON

NOTE: On vehicles so equipped no audible chime
tone will sound or the seat belt indicator lamp will
remain on continuously anytime the ignition switch
is on and the driver is not wearing the seat belt.

(1) Use scan tool to perform CCD diagnostics on

Body Control Module for battery and ignition switch
input.

(2) Inspect Body Control Module connectors and

wires for proper connection.

NO TONE OR DOOR INDICATED IN PLACE OF
ODOMETER WHEN A DOOR IS AJAR AND VEHICLE
BEGINS MOVING

The vehicle must be moving for the chime to occur.

However the door indicator will come ON regardless
of the vehicle movement. The CCD bus, Transmission
Control Module (TCM) and Powertrain Control Mod-
ule (PCM) must be operational.

(1) Check all door jamb switches.
(2) Use scan tool to perform CCD diagnostics on

Body Control Module for battery and ignition switch
input

(3) Inspect Body Control Module connectors and

wires for proper connection.

(4) Remove Body Control Module from Junction

Block. Check for battery voltage at terminal JB-12
and ignition feed at terminal JB-6 of Body Control
Module. Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams for the
location of the terminals.

(5) If voltage not OK, repair as necessary.

NO TONE WHEN HEADLAMPS ARE ON, IGNITION
SWITCH IS OFF AND DRIVER’S DOOR IS OPEN.

(1) Check left door jamb switch for good ground

when driver’s door is open.

(2) Use scan tool to perform CCD diagnostics on

Body Control Module for battery, ignition switch
input, headlamp and driver’s door input and Chime
Output Test.

(3) Check headlamp switch.
