The radio generates the audible warning through the left speaker. The radio receives audible warning requests via the serial data circuit from the instrument panel cluster (IPC) or the body control module (BCM). The vehicle may be equipped with a chime module. The chime module receives audible warning requests via the serial data circuit. the chime producer is either the radio or the chime module.

Important: Before performing this diagnostics, make sure no indicators are illuminated after the IPC performs a lamp test. If any indicators are illuminated after the bulb test, perform the indicator diagnostics before this diagnostics.

1. Ignition ON, headlamp switch OFF, verify the scan tool Headlamp Switch parameter is Inactive.

⇒	If not Inactive, refer to Headlamps Malfunction.

2. Ignition ON, doors closed, verify the scan tool Door Ajar Switch parameter is Door Closed.

⇒	If not Door Closed, refer to Courtesy Lamps Malfunction.

3. Verify that the Key In Ignition Cylinder Switch parameter is Key In when the key is in the ignition and Key Out when the key is out of the ignition.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the key in ignition switch.
2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 2 and ground.

⇒	If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the ignition switch fuse is open, test the signal circuit terminal 4 for a short to ground.

3. Verify the BCM scan tool Key In Ignition Cylinder Switch parameter is Key Out.

⇒	If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 4 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.

4. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 4 and the B+ circuit terminal 2. Verify the BCM scan tool Key In Ignition Cylinder Switch parameter is Key In.

⇒	If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.

5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the ignition switch.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
