DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
CHIME SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
NO TONE WHEN IGNITION SWITCH IS
TURNED ON AND DRIVER'S SEAT BELT IS
NOT BUCKLED.
(1) Using a scan tool (DRB), check for tone in any
other function.
(2) Using a voltmeter, check for voltage:
(a) Pin 9 of the internal 32 way connector of the
BCM for battery feed.(b) Pin 8 of the internal 32 way connector of the
BCM for ignition feed.
(c) If voltage OK, go to step Step 3
(d) If NO voltage repair as necessary. Refer to
Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams for component loca-
tions and circuit information.
(3) Check driver's seat belt buckle switch input for
a closed circuit when not buckled. If input not seen,
look for open in wiring or switch. The switch is
grounded when belt is not buckled.
(4) Repair as necessary.
NO FASTEN SEAT BELT LAMP WHEN
IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED ON.
(1) Check for burned out lamp.
(2) Using a voltmeter check for voltage:
(a) Pin 2 of the mechanical instrument cluster
for battery feed.
(b) Pin 11 of the mechanical instrument cluster
for ignition voltage.
(3) Repair as necessary.

NSCHIME WARNING/REMINDER SYSTEM 8U - 1
FASTEN SEAT BELT LAMP OR TONE
CONTINUES FOR MORE THAN 10 SECONDS
AFTER SEAT BELTS ARE FASTENED AND
DRIVER'S DOOR IS CLOSED.
(1) Check left door ajar switch for no ground when
switch is depressed.
(a) If continuity replace door ajar switch.
(b) If NO continuity replace BCM for tone condi-
tion, or replace mechanical instrument panel for
lamp condition.
(c) Replace BCM for tone condition.
(d) Replace mechanical instrument cluster for

(1) Check left door ajar switch for good ground
when driver's door is open. Repair as necessary.
(2) Inspect BCM connectors and wires for proper
connection. If OK, replace BCM for tone condition.
DOME LAMP ON CHIME
The dome lamp on chime will warn the driver that
the dome lamps have been left on.
With the ignition is OFF:
²Driver's door OPEN (door ajar switch is closed to
ground)
²Dome lamps are ON (dome lamp switch is closed
to ground),
The chime will sound continuously until driver's
door is closed, dome lamps tuned OFF or until the
battery protection time out of 15 minutes has
expired. Refer Group 8L, Lamps proper procedures.
Chime rate: 168 to 192 chimes per minute.
ENGINE TEMPERATURE CRITICAL CHIME
The engine temperature critical chime will warn
the driver that the vehicle's engine is overheating.
While monitoring the coolant temperature, the Pow-
ertrain Control Module (PCM) will send on the CCD
bus as engine temperature every 1.376 seconds to the
Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM calculates
engine temperature and determines if a warning
should occur. This feature is functional only with the
Ignition Switch in the Run/Start position. On the
Diesel vehicles, the coolant temperature sensor is
read directly by the BCM.
When the engine temperature reaches 122ÉC
(252ÉF) or the diesel engine 112ÉC (234ÉF), the BCM
will chime one tone and the engine temperature lamp
comes ON. The BCM turns OFF the lamp when the
engine temperature reaches 117ÉC (242ÉF) or the die-
sel engine 108ÉC (226ÉF). The BCM will chime con-
tinuously when the engine temperature reaches
125ÉC (257ÉF) or diesel engine 116ÉC (241ÉF). The
chime will turn OFF after four minutes or when thetemperature reaches 117ÉC (242ÉF) or diesel engine
108ÉC (226ÉF), which ever occurs first.
EXTERIOR LAMPS ON CHIME
The exterior lamp on chime will warn the driver
that the exterior lights have been left on.
With the ignition switch OFF:
²Driver's door is open (door ajar switch is closed
to ground)
²Parking lamps or headlamps ON (parking lamp
switch is closed to ground)
The chime will sound until lights are turned OFF,
driver's door closed or until the battery protection
time out of 3 minutes has expired.
Refer to Group 8L, Lamps, for proper service pro-
cedures. Chime rate: 168 to 192 chimes per minute.
To test the exterior lamps left on function:
²Turn ignition off
²Remove ignition key
²Turn exterior lamps on with driver's door open.
Chime should sound until lamps are turned off or
driver's door is closed.
KEY-IN IGNITION CHIME
The key-in ignition chime will act as a warning to
the driver that the ignition key has been left in the
ignition switch.
With the ignition switch is in OFF position ONLY:
²Driver's door is open/ajar (door ajar switch is
closed to ground)
²Key is in the ignition switch (key-in ignition
switch is closed to ground)
The chime will sound until one of the above condi-
tions is removed. Chime rate: 168 to 192 chimes per
minute.
To test the key-in ignition function, insert key into
the ignition and open driver's door. Do not turn igni-
tion ON. Chime should sound until key is removed
from ignition or driver's door is closed.
LOW OIL PRESSURE CHIME OPERATION
The low oil pressure chime will warn the driver
that the engine oil pressure is low. The oil pressure
switch, will close to ground during a low oil pressure
condition. The oil pressure lamp will illuminate in
the message center. The body control module will
monitor the oil pressure switch and signal a low oil
pressure condition. A continuous four minute warn-
ing chime will sound and the oil pressure lamp will
come ON when the following conditions are met:
²Ignition on and engine not cranking
²Engine running at 420 to 480 rpm for 10 sec-
onds
²Oil pressure switch closed to ground for (1 sec-
ond minimum, 2 seconds maximum)
Chime rate: 168 to 192 chimes per minute.

CONNECTOR INFORMATION
CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some
connectors are serviced only with a harness. A typ-
ical example might be the Supplemental Restraint
System connectors. Always check parts availability
before attempting a repair.
IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as
follows:
²In-line connectors located on theengine com-
partment harnessareC100series numbers.
²Connectors located on theinstrument panel
harnessareC200series numbers.
²Connectors located on thebody harnessare
C300series numbers.
²Jumper harness connectorsareC400series
numbers.
²Grounds and ground connectorsare identi-
fied with aªGºand follow the same series number-
ing as the in-line connector.
Component connectors are identified by the compo-
nent name instead of a number (Fig. 2). Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identi-
fier (Fig. 3).
LOCATIONS
Section 8W-90 contains connector/ground location
illustrations. The illustrations contain the connector
name (or number)/ground number and component
identification. Connector/ground location charts in
Section 8W-90 reference the illustration number for
components and connectors.
Section 8W-80 shows each connector and the cir-
cuits involved with that connector. The connectors
are identified using the name/number on the Dia-
gram pages.
SPLICE LOCATIONS
Splice Location charts in Section 8W-70 show the
entire splice, and provide references to other sections
the splice serves.
Section 8W-95 contains illustrations that show the
general location of the splices in each harness. The
illustrations show the splice by number, and provide
a written location.
NOTES, CAUTIONS, and WARNINGS
Throughout this group additional important infor-
mation is presented in three ways; Notes, Cautions,
and Warnings.
NOTESare used to help describe how switches or
components operate to complete a particular circuit.
They are also used to indicate different conditions
that may appear on the vehicle. For example, an
up-to and after condition.
CAUTIONSare used to indicate information that
could prevent making an error that may damage the
vehicle.
WARNINGSprovide information to prevent per-
sonal injury and vehicle damage. Below is a list of
general warnings that should be followed any time a
vehicle is being serviced.
