Door Ajar Warning

The chime producer activates the door ajar audible warning as requested by the body control module (BCM). The BCM sends a serial data message to the chime producer indicating the chime frequency of a medium rate and continuous duration. The door ajar warning sounds and the appropriate door ajar indicator illuminates in the drivers information center (DIC) when the following occurs:

• The BCM determines that a door (driver door, passenger door, left rear door, right rear door) is open and the signal circuit is low. The IPC also receives a serial data message from the BCM indicating the door ajar status.
• The vehicle is not in PARK. The BCM receives a serial data message from the ECM/BCM indicating the gear position.
