Circuit/System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The body control module (BCM) receives a discrete input from the driver door ajar switch, the passenger door ajar switches, and the liftgate ajar switch. The door ajar switches are normally open when the doors are fully closed. When a door is opened, the door ajar switch contacts close providing a path to ground. The driver information center (DIC) located at the bottom of the instrument panel cluster (IPC), illuminates the appropriate door ajar message when one of the doors is open. The IPC receives a serial data message from the BCM indicating the door ajar status. If this message is displayed and the vehicle speed is greater than 8.1 km/h (5 mph), a chime will sound.
