Air Bag Warning Chime

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mercury Monterey and 2004 Ford Freestar. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The air bag warning chime is activated when the air bag warning lamp is inoperative and an active fault is detected by the RCM. The air bag warning chime sounds after the ignition switch has been in the RUN position for more than 20 seconds. When these conditions exist, the RCM sends a chime request through the air bag warning chime request circuit to the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster will activate the air bag warning chime. The warning consists of 5 sets of 5 1-second tone bursts. Each set is separated by 5 seconds of silence. The warning is repeated every 30 minutes.
