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 does not operate. The Instrument Cluster (IC) controls all warning chimes based on messages received from external modules.

The warning device system consists of the following:

- IC
- Safety belt warning indicator switch (part of the safety belt buckle)
- Door ajar switch
- Key-in-ignition warning switch (part of the ignition switch)
- SJB

The following chimes are controlled by the IC:

- Safety belt warning (driver side only)
- Air bag warning
- Key-in-ignition
- Turn signal left on
- Turn signal/hazard on
- Headlamps on
- Message center
- Parking brake applied
- Perimeter alarm (late build)
- Belt-Minder(R)
