Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) Engine Off Chime
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Lincoln MKZ, and 2011 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The HEV engine off chime sounds to remind the driver that the engine is not running and the vehicle is ready to drive. The HEV warning chime sounds when the key is in RUN, the driver door is ajar and the transaxle is in PARK (P).
The HEV warning chime inputs are:
- Ignition state.
- Door ajar input from the driver door ajar switch to the SJB.
- Door ajar status communicated from the SJB to the IPC through the MS-CAN.
- Transaxle park status communicated by the PCM to the IPC through the HS-CAN.
