Lighting and Horns: Testing and Inspection

The exterior lamp on chime will warn the driver that the exterior lights have been left on.

With the ignition switch OFF:
- Driver's door is open (door ajar switch is closed to ground)
- Parking lamps or headlamps ON (parking lamp switch is closed to ground)

The chime will sound until lights are turned OFF, driver's door closed or until the battery protection time out of 3 minutes has expired.

Refer to Lamps, for proper service procedures. Chime rate: 168 - 192 chimes per minute.

To test the exterior lamps left on function:
- Turn ignition off
- Remove ignition key
- Turn exterior lamps on with driver's door open. Chime should sound until lamps are turned off or driver's door is closed.
