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
lamp condition.
NO TONE WHEN PARK OR HEADLAMPS ARE
ON AND DRIVER'S DOOR IS OPEN.
(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.

ulated shop air to the metal back- pressure fitting on
the EGR valve.
(6) By hand, open the throttle to the wide open
position. AirSHOULD NOT BE HEARDemitting
from the intake manifold while applying air pressure
at the back-pressure fitting.
(7) If airCAN BE HEARDemitting from the
intake manifold, the poppet valve (Fig. 4) is leaking
at the bottom of the EGR valve. Replace the EGR
valve. Note: The EGR valve, valve control and
attaching hoses are serviced as one assembly. Refer
to EGR Valve Removal/Installation in this group. Do
not attempt clean the old EGR valve.
EGR VALVE CONTROL (TRANSDUCER) TEST
TESTING ELECTRICAL SOLENOID PORTION
OF VALVE
This is not to be used as a complete test of the
EGR system.
Electrical operation of the valve should be checked
with the DRB scan tool. Refer to the appropriate
Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures service manual for
operation of the DRB scan tool. Replace solenoid if
necessary, unit serviced only as an assembly.
TESTING VACUUM TRANSDUCER PORTION
OF VALVE
The first part of this test will determine if the
transducer diaphragm at the back-pressure side of
the valve has ruptured or is leaking. The second part
of the test will determine if engine vacuum (full-man-
ifold) is flowing from the inlet to the outlet side of
the valve. This is not to be used as a complete test of
the EGR system.
(1) Disconnect the rubber back-pressure hose from
the fitting at the bottom of EGR valve (Fig. 4).
(2) Connect a hand-held vacuum pump to this fit-
ting.
(3) Apply 10 inches of vacuum to this fitting.
(4) If vacuum falls off, the valve diaphragm is
leaking.
(5) Replace the EGR valve assembly. Proceed to
next step for further testing.
(6) Remove the rubber hose at the vacuuminlet
fitting (Fig. 4) on the EGR valve.
(7) Connect a vacuum gauge to this disconnected
hose.
(8) Start the engine and bring to operating tem-
perature. Hold engine speed at approximately 1500
rpm.
(9) Check for steady engine vacuum (full-manifold)
at this hose.
(10) If engine vacuum (full-manifold) is not
present, check vacuum line to engine and repair as
necessary before proceeding to next step.(11) Reconnect the rubber hose to the vacuum
inletfitting (Fig. 4) on the EGR valve.
(12) Disconnect the rubber hose at the vacuum
outletfitting (Fig. 4) on the EGR valve.
(13) Connect a vacuum gauge to this fitting.
(14) Disconnect the electrical connector (Fig. 4) at
the valve control. This will simulate an open circuit
(no ground from the PCM) at the valve.
(15) Start the engine and bring to operating tem-
perature.
(16) Hold the engine speed to approximately 2000
rpm while checking for engine vacuum (full-manifold)
at this fitting.To allow full manifold vacuum to
flow through the valve, exhaust back-pressure
must be present at valve. It must be high
enough to hold the bleed valve in the trans-
ducer portion of the valve closed.Have a helper
momentarily (a second or two) hold a rag over the
tailpipe opening to build some exhaust back-pressure
while observing the vacuum gauge. Heavy gloves
should be worn.Do not cover the tailpipe open-
ing for an extended period of time as damage to
components or overheating may result.
(17) As temporary back-pressure is built, full man-
ifold vacuum should be observed at the vacuum out-
let fitting. Without back-pressure, and engine at
approximately 2000 rpm, the gauge reading will be
low. This low reading is normal. At idle speed, the
gauge reading will be erratic. This is also normal.
(18) If full manifold vacuum is not present at the
outlet fitting, but was present at the inlet fitting,
replace the valve. Note: The EGR valve, valve control
and attaching hoses are serviced as one assembly.
Refer to EGR Valve Removal/Installation in this
group.
