Diagnostic Instructions
* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
The radio generates the audible warnings. The instrument cluster, the body control module (BCM), the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) or the object alarm module request audible warnings via serial data.

Circuit/System Verification
Note: Before performing this diagnostics, make sure no indicators are illuminated after the instrument cluster performs a lamp test. If any indicators are illuminated after the bulb test, perform the indicator diagnostics before this diagnostics.
1. Ignition ON.
2. Verify all the radio speakers operate by adjust the radio balance and fade to each speaker.
• If any speaker does not operate properly
Refer to Speaker Malfunction Speaker Malfunction.
• If the speakers operate properly
3. Verify the scan tool Driver Seat Belt Status and Passenger Seat Belt Status parameters are Buckled when both front seat belts are buckled.
• If not Buckled
Refer to Seat Belt Indicator Malfunction - Driver Seat Belt Indicator Malfunction - Driver.
• If buckled
4. Verify the scan tool Headlamp On Switch parameter is Inactive when the headlamps are OFF.
• If not Inactive
Refer to Headlamps Malfunction Headlamps Malfunction.
• If Inactive
5. Verify the scan tool Park Lamps Switch parameter is Inactive when the park lamp switch is OFF.
• If not Inactive
Refer to Park, License, and/or Tail Lamps Malfunction Park, License, and/or Tail Lamps Malfunction.
• If Inactive
6. Verify the scan tool Left Turn Signal Switch and Right Turn Signal Switch parameters are Inactive while the turn signal switch is OFF.
• If not Inactive
Refer to Turn Signal Lamps and/or Indicators Malfunction Turn Signal Lamps and/or Indicators Malfunction.
• If Inactive
7. Verify the scan tool Park Brake Switch parameter is Inactive when the park brake is OFF.
• If not Inactive
Refer to Park Brake System Diagnosis (Drum Brakes) Park Brake System Diagnosis (Drum Brakes)Park Brake System Diagnosis (Disc Brakes) Park Brake System Diagnosis (Disc Brakes).
• If Inactive
8. Verify that all scan tool parameters listed below are Inactive when all the doors are closed.
* Driver Door Ajar Switch
* Passenger Door Ajar Switch
* Left Rear Door Ajar Switch
* Right Rear Door Ajar Switch
• If not Inactive
Refer to Door Ajar Indicator Malfunction Door Ajar Indicator Malfunction.
• If Inactive
9. Verify the scan tool Key in Ignition Status parameter is Inactive when the key is out of the ignition.
• If not Inactive
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.
• If Active
10. All OK
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition ON, disconnect the harness connector at the S39 ignition switch while the ignition is ON.
2. Verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 2 and ground.
• If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good
Test for less than 2 ohms in the B+ circuit end to end.
• If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
• If less than 2 ohms, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse.
• If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open
1. Test for infinite resistance between the B+ circuit and ground.
• If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
• If infinite resistance
2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
• If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
• If infinite resistance, replace the K9 body control module.
• If the test lamp illuminates
3. Verify the scan tool Key in Ignition Status parameter is Inactive.
• If not Inactive
1. Disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K9 body control module.
2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit terminal 4 and ground.
• If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
• If less than 1 V, replace the K9 body control module.
• If Inactive
4. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 4 and the B+ circuit terminal 2.
5. Verify the scan tool Key in Ignition Status parameter is Active.
• If not Active
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K9 body control module.
2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the signal circuit end to end.
• If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
• If less than 2 ohms, replace the K9 body control module.
• If Active
6. Test or replace the S39 ignition switch.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification Verification Tests after completing the repair.
