Fasten Safety Belt Warning

The Body Control Module (BCM) activates the fasten safety belt audible warning with the associated chime frequency at a slow rate and for a duration of 8 seconds. The fasten safety belt warning sounds and the fasten safety belt indicator illuminates when the following occurs:
^ The ignition switch transitions to ON.
^ The BCM detects that the driver's seat belt is not buckled and the signal circuit is low. The BCM sends a class 2 message to the IPC requesting illumination of the fasten safety belt indicator.

If the seat belt is buckled when the ignition is turned on, the chime does not sound. If the seat belt is buckled while the chime is sounding, the chime stops. If the seat belt is unbuckled after the initial transition to ON, the chime does not sound.
