Power Liftgate Warning Chime

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The power liftgate chime is used to alert the driver of the status of the power liftgate system. The chimes indicate a close request, obstacle detection, memory feedback, a precondition change during operation, a rejected request, and a system error state. There are 4 different chimes used to indicate these various conditions as requested by the RGTM. Two chimes sound once and 2 chimes sound continuously.

The power liftgate chime sounds through the front speakers. The IPC receives the power liftgate chime request from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the power liftgate chime request from the RGTM over the MS-CAN.

When a chime request is received, the IPC sends the IPC chime request message to the ACM and the audio DSP to sound the chime.
