Do or Ajar Warning

The chime producer activates the do or ajar audible warning as requested by the BCM. The BCM sends a serial data message to the chime producer indicating the chime frequency of a medium rate and continuous duration. The do or ajar warning sounds and the appropriate door ajar indicator illuminates in the driver information center 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 instrument cluster 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.
