Pinpoint Test AE: The Headlamp On Warning Chime Does Not Operate Correctly

Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 60, Instrument Cluster for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number

Normal Operation

The headlamp on warning chime alerts the driver that the headlamps or parking lamps are on, the ignition switch is in the OFF position, and the driver door is opened. The Instrument Cluster (IC) uses the headlamps or parking lamps on signal from the illumination input, the ignition RUN/START position status (operational mode of the cluster) and the driver door ajar input circuit. When the IC receives all 3 inputs, the instrument cluster sounds the headlamps on warning chime.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- IC
