8U - 2 CHIME WARNING / REMINDER SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
DOOR AJAR CHIME
An audible chime will sound when the vehicle
begins to move and the transmission range indicator
display will indicate DOOR.

EXTERIOR LAMPS LEFT ON

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.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

CHIME DIAGNOSTIC CONDITIONS

For Removal and Installation of Junction Block
(JB), refer to Group 8O, Power Distribution Systems.
For Removal and Installation of Body Control Mod-
ule (BCM), refer to Group 8E, Instrument Panel and
Systems.
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 DRB lll scan tool to perform CCD diag-
nostics on Body Control Module for battery and igni-
tion switch inputs.
(2) Check for burned out bulb.
(3) Using the DRB lll scan tool, do the actuator
test on cluster. Refer to proper Body Diagnostic Pro-
cedures Manual.
(4) Remove Body Control Module from Junction
Block. Check for battery voltage at terminal JB-12

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
(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.
