ISSUE
Some 2004-2005 Explorer 4dr/Mountaineer/Aviator vehicles may experience an intermittent advance trac warning message (CHECK ADVTRAC), and a warning chime when the ignition key is cycled to the off position.

ACTION
Follow the Service Procedure to correct the condition.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

If the concern is verified, replace the instrument cluster per Workshop Manual, Section 413 with a new part from the Cluster Service Center. The new instrument cluster's software prevents network timing errors from enabling a chime during a CHECK ADVTRAC event.
