Audible Warning Device: Testing and Inspection

CHIME WARNING SYSTEM







Refer to the appropriate wiring information. Conventional diagnostic methods may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the Instrument Cluster. The most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose the Instrument Cluster and the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus network inputs for the chime warning system requires the use of a DRB III(R) scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic information.

WARNING: DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE, THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PERFORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
