Airbag Warning Chime

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

The airbag secondary warning chime warns the driver that the airbag warning indicator LED is inoperative. If the IPC detects a fault with the airbag warning indicator LED during the bulb prove out, the airbag secondary warning chime sounds. If the IPC detects a fault in the airbag warning indicator when a SRS fault condition exists and the RCM has sent the IPC the airbag indicator request, the airbag secondary warning chime sounds. The airbag chime is a 0.5-second chime that sounds 5 times.

If not equipped with the base AM/FM audio system and a fault condition is detected, the IPC sends the IPC chime request message to the ACM and the DSP (Harmon audio system only) to sound the chime. The airbag secondary warning chime sounds through the front speakers.
