2002 CHRYSLER CARAVAN oil reset

ignition switch. This chime will operate for all igni-
tion positions except ON and START.
With the ignition switch in the OFF position
O N LY:
²Driver's door is open/ajar (door ajar switch is
closed to ground)
²Key is in the ignition switch (ignition is in the
LOCK position)
The chime will sound until one of the above condi-
tions is removed or until battery protection time out
(15 min.) has expired. Chime rate: 168 to 192 chimes
per minute.
To test the key-in ignition function, insert key into
the ignition and open drivers door. Do not turn igni-
tion ON. Chime should sound until key is removed
from ignition or drivers door is closed.
For diagnosis and testing of the Key-In chime for
other ignition positions, use the same testing proce-
dure as above but with the key in the accessory or
unlock position.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - LOW OIL
PRESSURE CHIME
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 PCM will monitor the oil
pressure switch and signal a low oil pressure condi-
tion. A continuous four minute warning 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.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - SEAT BELT CHIME
The seat belt chime will sound for 4 to 8 seconds,
when the ignition is turned on and the driver's seat
belt is not buckled (seat belt switch is closed to
ground). This is a reminder to the driver to buckle
the seat belt. The seat belt lamp is controlled by the
ORC. The cluster will also bulb check the seat belt
warning lamp for 6 seconds. Buckling the driver's
seat belt before the time out has expired will cause
the chime to stop immediately. Chime rate: 38 to 62
chimes per minute but the lamp will remain on until
6 seconds have expired.
To test the seat belt warning system, the ignition
switch must be in the OFF position for 1 minute
before starting the test. Turn the ignition switch to
the on position with the driver's seat belt not buck-led. The seat belt warning lamp should light and the
chime should sound 4 to 8 seconds.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - SEAT BELT LAMP
The seat belt lamp in the instrument cluster sig-
nals the vehicle passengers to fasten their seat belts.
The seat belt lamp is illuminated directly by the
instrument cluster for 6 seconds after the instrument
cluster receives the message from the ORC. The seat
belt lamp is therefore illuminated for 6 seconds
whenever the ignition switch is moved to run/start
position.
(1) While ignition is off, the seat belt lamp will not
be illuminated.
(2) The ignition power feed status will be updated
every 250 milliseconds or on change.
(3) This lamp will be checked by the instrument
cluster for 6 seconds with every run/start cycle of the
ignition switch.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TIRE PRESSURE
MONITOR
The Tire Pressure Warning chime, as well as the
information being displayed in the EVIC, will act as
a warning to the driver that a tire has either Low or
High pressure, or if there is a need to service the
Tire Pressure Monitor System. With the ignition
switch in the ON position and the ªLow Pressure/
High Pressureº or ªService the TPM Systemº dis-
played on the EVIC display, a single chime will
sound.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TURN SIGNAL ON
CHIME
The turn signal on chime will warn the driver that
the turn signals have been left on. When the body
control module receives a turn signal input for 1.0
mile, vehicle speed is greater than 24 km/h (15 mph),
the chime will sound continuously until the turn sig-
nal is turned OFF. If vehicle speed drops below 24
km/h (15 mph) prior to the warning being activated,
the accumulated distance traveled will be reset. The
turn signal chime is not activated when the emer-
gency flashers are turned on. Chime rate: 50   12
chimes per minute.
For the turn signal warning system to operate:
²Must have input from either the right or left
turn signal lamps. Creates a voltage change between
0 and battery voltage.
²The vehicle speed sensor sends a message to the
Powertrain Control Module that vehicle has exceeded
24 km/h (15 mph) for 1.0 mile).
²When the above two conditions are met, the
chime will sound. The chime will stop when no fur-
ther voltage change is detected.

²If hazard warning signals are pulsing, no chime
will sound.
²If speed drops below 24 km/h (15 mph) before
the warning is issued, the warning will not be issued
and the distance counter will be reset.
²If turn signal lamps are not working properly,
the chime will not sound.
²When using the scan tool, refer to the proper
Body Diagnostic Manual for the procedure.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WARNING LAMP
ANNOUNCEMENT CHIME
The warning lamp announcement chime will warn
the driver to scan the instrument cluster to observe
which warning lamp is illuminated. Whenever the
volts, low fuel, airbag, door ajar or gate ajar lampsare first illuminated, the chime will sound one tone.
The door/liftgate ajar warning lamp announcement
chime sounds only if the vehicle speed is above 4
m.p.h.
Two seconds after ignition switch is turned ON or
until the seat belt warning chime ends, all warning
announcement chimes will be consolidated into one
warning announcement. This will occur 2 seconds
after the seat belt warning chime ends. If a warning
announcement should occur while another warning
chime in progress (turn signal, low oil pressure or
high speed warnings), no additional chimes will
sound after the chime in progress ends. All associ-
ated lamps will be illuminated, and the active chime
will be the warning announcement.

KNOCK SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The knock sensor threads into the cylinder block.
The knock sensor is designed to detect engine vibra-
tion that is caused by detonation.
OPERATION
When the knock sensor detects a knock in one of
the cylinders, it sends an input signal to the PCM. In
response, the PCM retards ignition timing for all cyl-
inders by a scheduled amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric material
which constantly vibrates and sends an input voltage
(signal) to the PCM while the engine operates. As the
intensity of the crystal's vibration increases, the
knock sensor output voltage also increases.
The voltage signal produced by the knock sensor
increases with the amplitude of vibration. The PCM
receives as an input the knock sensor voltage signal.
If the signal rises above a predetermined level, the
PCM will store that value in memory and retard
ignition timing to reduce engine knock. If the knock
sensor voltage exceeds a preset value, the PCM
retards ignition timing for all cylinders. It is not a
selective cylinder retard.
The PCM ignores knock sensor input during engine
idle conditions. Once the engine speed exceeds a
specified value, knock retard is allowed.
Knock retard uses its own short term and long
term memory program.
Long term memory stores previous detonation
information in its battery-backed RAM. The maxi-
mum authority that long term memory has over tim-
ing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard timing up
to a preset amount under all operating conditions (aslong as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except WOT.
The PCM, using short term memory, can respond
quickly to retard timing when engine knock is
detected. Short term memory is lost any time the
ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening affects knock sen-
sor performance, possibly causing improper spark
control.
