Warning Chimes

Warning Chimes

NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).

The warning chimes are designed to provide the driver with an audible warning that acts as a supplemental alert. The only deviation from this strategy is the air bag chime which is used to alert the driver that the primary alerting system (air bag warning indicator) does not operate. The Instrument Cluster (IC) controls all warning chimes.

The warning chime system consists of the following:

- IC
- Key-in-ignition warning switch (part of the ignition switch)
- Restraints Control Module (RCM)
- SJB
- ABS

The following chimes are controlled by the IC:

- AdvanceTrac(R)
- Air bag warning
- Belt-Minder(R)
- Door ajar
- Headlamps on
- Key-in-ignition
- Memory feedback
- Message center
- MyKey(TM) speed
- Parking brake on
- Safety belt warning
- Turn signal/hazard (tick-tock)
- Turn signal left on
