economy, and/or trip odometer data has been reset.
The CMTC uses internal programming, hard wired
inputs from the U.S./Metric and Reset switches, and
electronic messages received from the Body Control
Module (BCM) to determine the proper reset mes-
sages to send to the EMIC.
²Door Ajar Warning- The EMIC chime tone
generator will generate a single ªbong-likeº chime
tone when the ignition switch is in the On position,
and electronic messages are received over the PCI
data bus from the Body Control Module (BCM) indi-
cating that the status of any door ajar input has
changed from closed to not closed, and from the PCM
indicating that the vehicle is moving. The BCM uses
internal programming, and hard wired inputs from
the door ajar switches and the ignition switch to
determine the proper door ajar switch messages to
send to the EMIC. The PCM uses internal program-
ming and a hard wired vehicle speed pulse input
received from the BCM to determine the proper vehi-
cle distance messages to send to the EMIC.
²Electrical System Voltage Low or High
Warning- Each time the ignition switch is turned to
the On position, the EMIC chime tone generator 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 ªChargingº indi-
cator illumination. This warning would indicate that
the monitored electrical system voltage is either too
low or too high. This warning will only occur once
during an ignition cycle. The PCM uses internal pro-
gramming and hard wired inputs from the electrical
and charging systems to determine the proper
ªChargingº indicator messages to send to the EMIC.
²Engine Coolant Temperature High Warning
- Each time the ignition switch is turned to the On
position, the EMIC chime tone generator will gener-
ate ªbong-likeº chime tones the first time an elec-
tronic message is received over the PCI data bus
from the PCM indicating that the engine coolant
temperature is too high. This chime will sound for
five consecutive single tones, unless an electronic
message is received from the PCM indicating that
the engine coolant temperature is not too high, or
unless the ignition switch is turned to the Off posi-
tion before the five single tones have completed. The
PCM uses internal programming and a hard wired
input from the engine coolant temperature sensor to
determine the proper engine coolant temperature
messages to send to the EMIC.
²Engine Oil Pressure Low Warning- Each
time the ignition switch is turned to the On position,
the EMIC chime tone generator will generate a sin-
gle ªbong-likeº chime tone the first time three
sequential sets of electronic messages are received
over the PCI data bus from the PCM indicating thatthe engine oil pressure is too low with the engine
running. The PCM uses internal programming and
hard wired inputs from the oil pressure sensor and
the crankshaft position sensor to determine the
proper oil pressure and engine speed messages to
send to the EMIC.
²Fasten Seat Belt Warning- Each time the
ignition switch is turned to the On position, the
EMIC chime tone generator will generate repetitive
ªbong-likeº chime tones at a slow rate the first time
an electronic message is received over the PCI data
bus from the ACM requesting ªSeatbeltº indicator
illumination. The ACM uses internal programming
and hard wired inputs from the driver side front seat
belt switch and the ignition switch to determine that
the driver side front seat belt is not fastened with
the ignition switch in the On position. These chimes
will continue to sound for a duration of about six sec-
onds each time the ignition switch is turned to the
On position, or until the driver side front seat belt is
fastened, whichever occurs first. This audible warn-
ing occurs independent of the visual warning pro-
vided by the EMIC ªSeatbeltº indicator.
²Gate Ajar Warning- The EMIC chime tone
generator will generate a single ªbong-likeº chime
tone when the ignition switch is in the On position,
and electronic messages are received over the PCI
data bus from the BCM indicating that the status of
the tailgate ajar input has changed from closed to
not closed, and from the PCM indicating that the
vehicle is moving. The BCM uses internal program-
ming, and hard wired inputs from the tailgate ajar
switch and the ignition switch to determine the
proper tailgate ajar switch messages to send to the
EMIC. The PCM uses internal programming and a
hard wired vehicle speed pulse input received from
the BCM to determine the proper vehicle distance
messages to send to the EMIC.
²Glass Ajar Warning- The EMIC chime tone
generator will generate a single ªbong-likeº chime
tone when the ignition switch is in the On position,
and electronic messages are received over the PCI
data bus from the BCM indicating that the status of
the rear flip-up glass ajar input has changed from
closed to not closed, and from the PCM indicating
that the vehicle is moving. The BCM uses internal
programming, and hard wired inputs from the flip-up
glass ajar switch and the ignition switch to deter-
mine the proper flip-up glass ajar switch messages to
send to the EMIC. The PCM uses internal program-
ming and a hard wired vehicle speed pulse input
received from the BCM to determine the proper vehi-
cle distance messages to send to the EMIC.
²Head/Park/Fog Lights-On Warning- The
EMIC chime tone generator will generate repetitive
ªbong-likeº chime tones at a fast rate when the igni-
