Turn Signal ON Chime

The turn signal on chime will warn the driver that the turn signals have been left ON. When the body control module receives a turn signal input for 1.0 mile, vehicle speed is greater than 24 km/h (15 mph), the chime will sound continuously until the turn signal is turned OFF. If vehicle speed drops below 24 km/h (15 mph) prior to the warning being activated, the accumulated distance traveled will be reset. The turn signal chime is not activated when the emergency flashers are turned ON. Chime rate: 50 ± 12 chimes per minute.

For the turn signal warning system to operate:
- Must have input from either the right or left turn signal lamps. Creates a voltage change between 0 and battery voltage.
- The vehicle speed sensor sends a message to the Powertrain Control Module that vehicle has exceeded 24 km/h (15 mph) for 1.0 mile).
- When the above two conditions are met, the chime will sound. The chime will stop when no further voltage change is detected.
- If hazard warning signals are pulsing, no chime will sound.
- If speed drops below 24 km/h (15 mph) before the warning is issued, the warning will not be issued and the distance counter will be reset.
- If turn signal lamps are not working properly, the chime will not sound.
- When using the scan tool, refer to the proper Body Diagnostic Manual for the procedure.
