The audible warnings alert the driver of a system concern
or a critical vehicle condition. The radio generates the audible warnings
through the left front speaker. The radio receives audible warning
requests via the class 2 serial data line. If the radio receives
multiple audible warning requests, the warning with the highest priority
sounds first. The following lists the audible warning priority and
the pulse rate:
- Fast rate chime (200 pulses per minute)
- Medium rate chime (150 pulses per minute)
- Slow rate chime (50 pulses per minute)
- Single chime
Door Ajar Warning
The radio activates the door ajar audible warning as requested by the
IPC. The IPC receives class 2 messages from the driver door module
(DDM) indicating that the specific door ajar switch is active. The IPC sends
a class 2 message to the radio indicating the chime frequency (medium
rate) and duration (4 repetitions). The door ajar warning sounds and
the door ajar indicator(s) illuminate when the following occurs:
| • | The DDM determines that the driver's door is open or ajar (signal
circuit is low). |
| • | The passenger door module (PDM) detects that the passenger's door
is open or ajar (signal circuit is low). The PDM sends a message to the DDM
via the simple bus interface (SBI) indicating that the door ajar switch
is active. |
| • | The right rear door module (RRDM) detects that the right rear
door is open or ajar (signal circuit is low). The RRDM sends a message to
the DDM via the SBI indicating that the door ajar switch is active. |
| • | The left rear door module (LRDM) detects that the left rear door
is open or ajar (signal circuit is low). The LRDM sends a message to the DDM
via the SBI indicating that the door ajar switch is active. |
Fasten Safety Belt Warning
The radio activates the fasten safety belt audible warning as requested
by the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). The SDM sends
a class 2 message to the radio indicating the chime frequency (slow
rate) and duration (8 seconds). The fasten safety belt warning
sounds and the fasten safety belt indicator illuminates when the following
occurs:
| • | The ignition switch transitions to ON. |
| • | The SDM detects that the driver's seat belt is not buckled (signal
circuit is low). The IPC receives a class 2 message from the SDM requesting
illumination of the seat belt indicator. |
If the seat belt is buckled when the ignition is turned on, the chime
does not sound. If the seat belt is buckled while the chime is sounding, the
chime stops. If the seat belt is unbuckled after the initial transition
to ON, the chime does not sound.
Key In Ignition Warning
The radio activates the key in ignition audible warning as requested
by the dash integration module (DIM). The DIM sends a class 2 message
to the radio indicating the chime frequency (medium rate) and duration
(continuous). The key in ignition warning sounds when the following
occurs:
| • | The ignition switch is OFF. |
| • | The driver door module (DDM) determines that the driver's door
is open (signal circuit is low). The DIM receives a class 2 message
from the DDM indicating that the door ajar switch is active. |
| • | The instrument panel integration module (IPM) (with CJ2) or the
HVAC control module (with C67) determines that the ignition key alarm switch
is closed (signal circuit is low). The DIM receives a class 2 message
from the DDM indicating that the key is in the ignition. |
Lights On Warning
The radio activates the lights on warning as requested by the dash integration
module (DIM). The DIM sends a class 2 message to the radio indicating
the chime frequency (fast rate) and duration (continuous). The lights
on warning sounds when the following occurs:
| • | The driver door module (DDM) determines that the driver's door
is open or ajar (signal circuit is low). The DIM receives a class 2
message from the DDM indicating that the door ajar switch is active. |
| • | The DIM determines that the headlamp switch is in the park or
head position. |
Park Brake Warning
The radio activates the park brake audible warning as requested by the
IPC. The IPC sends a class 2 message to the radio indicating the
chime frequency (fast rate) and duration (continuous). The park brake
warning sounds and the brake indicator illuminates when the following
occurs:
| • | The vehicle moves a minimum of 3 meters (10 feet)
to a maximum of 15.2 meters (50 feet). The IPC calculates the
distance based on a class 2 message from the PCM indicating the
vehicle speed. |
| • | The IPC determines that the park brake is engaged (signal circuit
is low). |
Turn Signal On
The radio activates the turn signal on audible warning as requested
by the IPC. The IPC sends a class 2 message to the radio indicating
the chime frequency and duration (continuous). The turn signal on warning
sounds when the following occurs:
| • | The IPC detects that the turn signal is active for greater than
1.28 km (0.8 miles). The IPC calculates the distance based on
a class 2 message from the PCM indicating the vehicle speed. |
