A chime warning system is standard factory-in-
stalled equipment on this model. The chime warning
system uses a single chime tone generator that is sol-
dered onto the electronic circuit board that is integral
to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
to provide an audible indication of various vehicle
conditions that may require the attention of the vehi-
cle operator or occupants (Fig. 1). The microproces-
sor-based EMIC utilizes electronic chime request
messages received from other electronic modules in
the vehicle over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus network along with hard
wired inputs to the cluster microprocessor to monitor
many sensors and switches throughout the vehicle.
In response to those inputs, the integrated circuitry
and internal programming of the EMIC allow it to
control audible outputs that are produced through its
on-board chime tone generator.
The EMIC circuitry and its chime tone generator
are capable of producing each of the four following
audible outputs:
²Fixed Duration Beep- A short, sharp, single
tactile ªbeep-likeº tone that is about 150 milliseconds
in duration.
²Single Chime Tone- A single ªbong-likeº chime
tone.
²Slow Rate Repetitive Chime- Repeated
chime tones that are issued at a slow rate of about
50 ªbong-likeº tones per minute.
²Fast Rate Repetitive Chime- Repeated chime
tones that are issued at a fast rate of about 180
ªbong-likeº tones per minute.
Hard wired circuitry connects the EMIC and the
various chime warning system switch and sensor
inputs to their electronic modules and to each other
through the electrical system of the vehicle. These
hard wired circuits are integral to numerous wire
harnesses, which are routed throughout the vehicle
and retained by many different methods. These cir-
cuits may be connected to each other, to the vehicle
electrical system and to the chime warning system
through the use of a combination of soldered splices,
splice block connectors, and many different types of
wire harness terminal connectors and insulators.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wir-
ing information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, further details
on wire harness routing and retention, as well as
pin-out and location views for the various wire har-
ness connectors, splices and grounds.
The EMIC chime warning system circuitry and
integral chime tone generator cannot be adjusted or
repaired. If the EMIC or the chime tone generator
are damaged or faulty, the EMIC unit must be
replaced.OPERATION
The chime warning system is designed to provide
an audible output as an indication of various condi-
tions that may require the attention or awareness of
the vehicle operator or occupants. The chime warning
system components operate on battery current
received through a fused B(+) fuse in the Junction
Block (JB) on a non-switched fused B(+) circuit so
that the system may operate regardless of the igni-
tion switch position. However, the chime warning
system also monitors the ignition switch position so
that some chime features will only occur with igni-
tion switch in the On position, while others occur
regardless of the ignition switch position.
The chime warning system provides an audible
indication to the vehicle operator or occupants under
the following conditions:
²Airbag Indicator Warning- The ElectroMe-
chanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) chime tone gen-
erator will generate one, short, ªbong-likeº chime
tone when the ignition switch is in the On position,
and an electronic message is received over the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus
from the Airbag Control Module (ACM) requesting
ªAirbagº indicator illumination. This warning will
only occur following completion of the ªAirbagº indi-
cator bulb test, and will only occur once during an
ignition cycle. The ACM uses internal programming,
hard wired inputs from the front Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) components and, on vehicles
so equipped, electronic messages received over the
PCI data bus from each Side Impact Airbag Control
Module (SIACM) to determine the proper ªAirbagº
indicator messages to send to the EMIC.
²Anti-Lock Brake Indicator Warning- The
EMIC chime tone generator will generate one, short,
ªbong-likeº chime tone when the ignition switch is in
the On position, and an electronic message is
received over the PCI data bus from the Controller
Anti-lock Brake (CAB) requesting ªAntilock Brake
System (ABS)º indicator illumination. This warning
will only occur following completion of the ªABSº
indicator bulb test, and will only occur once during
an ignition cycle. The CAB uses internal program-
ming, hard wired inputs from the Antilock Brake
System (ABS) components, and electronic messages
received over the PCI data bus from the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) to determine the proper
ªABSº indicator messages to send to the EMIC.
²Compass Mini-Trip Computer Reset- The
EMIC chime tone generator will generate one, short,
fixed duration ªbeep-likeº chime tone when the igni-
tion switch is in the On position, and an electronic
message is received over the PCI data bus from the
optional Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC)
requesting that the CMTC elapsed time, average fuel

ever occurs first. The overspeed warning feature is
only enabled on a BCM that has been programmed
with a Middle East Gulf Coast Country (GCC) coun-
try code.
²No Airbag Indicator Message Warning- The
EMIC chime tone generator will generate one, short,
ªbong-likeº chime tone and turn on the ªAirbagº indi-
cator when the ignition switch is in the On position,
and a PCI data bus ªAirbagº indicator on or off mes-
sage is not received from the ACM for six consecutive
seconds.
²No Antilock Brake Indicator Message Warn-
ing- The EMIC chime tone generator will generate
one, short, ªbong-likeº chime tone and turn on the
ªABSº indicator when the ignition switch is in the On
position, and a PCI data bus ªABSº indicator on or
off message is not received from the CAB for six con-
secutive seconds.
²No Fuel Level Message Warning- The EMIC
chime tone generator will generate one, short, ªbong-
likeº chime tone and turn on the ªLow Fuelº indica-
tor when the ignition switch is in the On position,
and a PCI data bus fuel level message is not received
from the PCM for twelve consecutive seconds.
²Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Pro-
gramming- On vehicles so equipped, the EMIC
chime tone generator will generate a single ªbong-
likeº chime tone when an electronic message is
received over the PCI data bus from the BCM indi-
cating that a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmit-
ter has been successfully programmed by the
customer into the RKE module memory.
²Sentry Key Immobilizer System Transpon-
der Programming- On vehicles so equipped, the
EMIC chime tone generator will generate a single
ªbong-likeº chime tone when an electronic message is
received over PCI data bus message from the Sentry
Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) indicating that the
Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) has been
placed in the ªCustomer Learnº programming mode,
and again each time a new SKIS transponder has
been successfully programmed by the customer.
²Turn Signal Cancel Warning- The EMIC
chime tone generator will generate repetitive ªbong-
likeº chime tones at a slow rate when the vehicle is
driven for a distance of about 3.2 kilometers (about
two miles) with a turn signal indicator flashing. The
EMIC uses an electronic message received over the
PCI data bus from the PCM, and a hard wired input
from the turn signal switch circuitry of the multi-
function switch to determine when to sound the turn
signal cancel warning. The PCM uses internal pro-
gramming and distance pulse information received
over a hard wired vehicle speed pulse input from the
BCM to determine the proper vehicle speed messages
to send to the EMIC. The BCM uses an internallyprogrammed electronic pinion factor and a hard
wired input from the rear wheel speed sensor to cal-
culate the proper distance pulse information to send
to the PCM. The electronic pinion factor represents
the proper tire size and axle ratio information for the
vehicle. These chimes will continue to sound until
the turn signal is turned Off, until the hazard warn-
ing system is turned On, or until the ignition switch
is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs first.
²Water-In-Fuel Warning- On vehicles equipped
with a diesel engine, each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position, the EMIC chime tone gen-
erator will generate a single ªbong-likeº chime tone
the first time an electronic message is received over
the PCI data bus from the PCM requesting ªWater-
in-Fuelº indicator illumination. The PCM uses inter-
nal programming and a hard wired input from the
water-in-fuel sensor to determine the proper water-
in-fuel messages to send to the EMIC. This warning
will only occur once during an ignition cycle.
The EMIC provides chime service for all available
features in the chime warning system. The EMIC
relies upon its internal programming and hard wired
inputs from the turn signal (multi-function) switch,
the washer fluid level switch, and the engine coolant
level sensor (diesel engine only) to provide chime ser-
vice for the turn signal cancel warning, the low
washer fluid warning, and the low coolant warning
respectively. The EMIC relies upon electronic mes-
sage inputs received from other electronic modules
over the PCI data bus network to provide chime ser-
vice for all of the remaining chime warning system
features. Upon receiving the proper inputs, the EMIC
activates the integral chime tone generator to pro-
vide the audible chime warning to the vehicle opera-
tor. The internal programming of the EMIC
determines the priority of each chime request input
that is received, as well as the rate and duration of
each chime tone that is to be generated. See the own-
er's manual in the vehicle glove box for more infor-
mation on the features provided by the chime
warning system.
The hard wired chime warning system inputs to
the EMIC, as well as other hard wired circuits for
this system may be diagnosed and tested using con-
ventional diagnostic tools and procedures. However,
conventional diagnostic methods may not prove con-
clusive in the diagnosis of the EMIC, the PCI data
bus network, or the electronic message inputs used
by the EMIC to provide chime warning system ser-
vice. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means
to diagnose the EMIC, the PCI data bus network,
and the electronic message inputs for the chime
warning system requires the use of a DRBIIItscan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
