DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Gauges And Warning Devices
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell
59 , Generic Electronic Module for schematic and connector
information.
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 60 , Instrument Cluster for schematic and connector information.
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 66 , Warning Chime for schematic and connector information.
Principles of Operation
Key- In-Ignition Warning Chime
The key- in-ignition warning chime activates when the generic electronic module (GEM) detects the
ignition switch circuits are in the OFF or ACC states and when the GEM detects the driver door is ajar
from the driver door ajar circuits. Refer to the Chime Duration Table in this section for audible output,
duration time, and priority ratings.
Airbag Warning Chime
The airbag warning chime activates when the GEM detects the ignition switch circuits are in the RUN
state and when the GEM detects a chime is requested from the airbag system circuit. Refer to the
Chime Duration Table for audible output, duration time, and priority ratings.
Door Ajar Warning Chime
The door ajar warning chime activates when the GEM detects the ignition switch circuits are in the
RUN state and when the GEM detects the driver or passenger door is ajar from the driver and
passenger door ajar circuits. Refer to the Chime Duration Table in this section for audible output,
duration time, and priority ratings.
Headlamps Left on Warning Chime
The headlamps left on warning chime activates when the GEM detects the ignition switch circuits are
in the KEYOUT state, when the GEM detects the driver door is ajar from the driver door ajar circuit, SECTION 413-

8. If the draw is found to be excessive, pull fuses from the battery/central junction box one at a
time and note the current drop. Do not reinstall the fuses until you are finished testing.
9. Check the wiring schematic in the wiring diagram for any circuits that run from the battery without passing through the battery/central junction box. Disconnect these circuits if the draw is
still excessive.
Battery— Electronic Drains Which Shut Off When the Battery Cable is Disconnected
1. Repeat the steps of the battery drain testing.
2. Make sure all doors are closed and accessories are off. Without starting the engine, turn the ignition switch to RUN for a moment and then OFF. Wait a few minutes for the illuminated entry
lamps to turn off if equipped.
3. Connect the ammeter and read the amperage draw.
The current reading (current drain) should be less than 50 mA (0.05 amp). If the current drain exceeds
50 mA (0.05 amp) after a few minutes, and if this drain did not show in previous tests, the drain is most
likely caused by an inoperative electronic component. As in previous tests, remove the fuses from the
battery/central junction box one at a time to locate the problem circuit.
Generator On- Vehicle Tests
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the generator, do not make jumper wire connections
except as directed.
CAUTION: Do not allow any metal object to come in contact with the housing and the
internal diode cooling fins with key on or off. A short circuit will result and burn out the diodes.
NOTE: Battery posts and cable clamps must be clean and tight for accurate meter indications.
NOTE: Refer to the Battery Tester Procedure Manual for complete directions for testing the charging
system.
1. Turn off all lamps and electrical components.
2. Place the vehicle in transmission range NEUTRAL and apply the parking brake.
3. Carry out the Load Test and No- Load Test according to the following component tests:
Generator On- Vehicle Tests— Load Test
1. Switch the battery tester to the ammeter function.
2. Connect the positive and negative leads of the battery tester to the corresponding battery terminals.
3. Connect the current probe to the generator B+ output terminal, circuit 38 (BK/OG). Klj . 12 ba

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Audio System
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell
130 , Radio for schematic and connector information.
Inspection and Verification 1. Verify the customer concern by operating the electronic audio system with the engine running.
2. Visually inspect the following for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage.
3. If the concern remains and the fault is not detected, proceed to the Symptom Chart to continue diagnostics.
