Generic Message Warning Chime
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Ford RV Cutaway, 2008 Ford Econoline, 2008 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2008 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The generic message warning chime feature is designed to draw the driver's attention to the integrated circuit display to view each new warning message. The instrument cluster (IC) provides a single one-second tone whenever a new warning message is displayed in the message center. If multiple warning messages are present, the instrument cluster (IC) sounds a chime for each of the warning messages that are present.
The generic message warning chime inputs are:
- Ignition switch in RUN/START position
- RSC warning indicator on command from the ABS module over the HS-CAN
- Fuel level input from the fuel pump module (gasoline) or fuel level sensor (diesel)
