GM Service Manual Online
For 1990-2009 cars only

The audible warnings system informs the driver that one or more of the following conditions exist:

    • The exterior lights are ON. Both of the following conditions are met:
       - The ignition switch is in any of the following positions:
   • LOCK
   • OFF
   • ACCY
       - The left front door is open.
    • The key is in the ignition switch. Both of the following conditions are met:
       - The ignition switch is in any of the following positions:
   • LOCK
   • OFF
   • ACCY
       - The left front door is open.
    • The safety belt is unbuckled. The ignition switch is in either of the following positions:
       - RUN
       - START
    • A turn signal is ON. The vehicles travels over 1.2 km (3/4 mile).
    • You apply the park brake. The vehicle travels approximately 12 m (40 ft)

Module Power

Battery voltage is applied at all times on the following circuits to the body control module (MALL):

    • From CKT 540 (ORN) to connector C1 terminal H
    • From CKT 640 (ORN) to connector C1 terminal G

With the ignition switch in RUN or with the ignition switch in START, ignition positive voltage is applied on CKT 39 (PNK) to module connector C2 terminal C13.

Lamps On Chime

The fast-pulsed lamps-on chime sounds when all of the following conditions are met:

    • The left front door is open.
    • The body control module (MALL) does not detect voltage at the lamps OFF input at CKT 1785 (LT BLU).
    • No voltage is detected at CKT 39 (PNK).

Key In Ignition Chime

The key in ignition chime sounds under the following conditions:

    • The key is in the ignition switch.
    • The left front door is open.

When a key is in the ignition switch, the following conditions occur:

    • The key in ignition switch is closed.
    • A ground condition exists in one of the following circuits:
      • CKT 80 (LT GRN) (without keyless entry)
      • CKT 653 (DK BLU/WHT) (with keyless entry)

When the left front door is open, the following conditions occur:

    • The left front door jamb switch is closed.
    • A ground condition exists in CKT 126 (TAN)

The medium pulsed key in ignition chime sounds under the following conditions:

    • When the body control module (MALL) detects a ground condition at both circuits.
    • There is no ignition positive voltage on CKT 39 (PNK)

Fasten Belts Chime

The fasten seat belts chime sounds when both of the following conditions are met:

    • The ignition switch is in either of the following positions:
       - RUN
       - START
    • The left front seat belt is unbuckled.

When the ignition switch is in the RUN position or the ignition switch is in the START position, ignition positive voltage is applied on CKT 39 (PNK) to the body control module (MALL). When you unbuckle the left front seat belt, the following conditions occur:

    • The seat belt switch closes.
    • A ground condition exists on CKT 238 (BLK/WHT).

The MALL commands the slow-pulsed fasten safety belt chime for 4-8 seconds when the following conditions occur:

    • When the MALL detects a ground condition on CKT 238 (BLK/WHT).
    • There is ignition positive voltage on CKT 39 (PNK).

When the above actions occur, the MALL applies voltage on CKT 234 (YEL) for 70 seconds. This action illuminates the FASTEN BELTS indicator.

Turn Signal On Chime

When you operate a turn signal, the body control module (MALL) begins to monitor vehicle distance. If the turn signal still flashes after the vehicle has traveled 1.2 km (3/4 mile), the turn signal on chime sounds four times.

Park Brake Chime
