Door Ajar Warning Chime

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The door ajar warning chime warns that a door is ajar and sounds the chime through the front speakers. When a door becomes ajar while the ignition is in RUN with vehicle speed greater than 5 km/h (3 mph), the IPC displays the appropriate door ajar warning message and sounds a single chime tone for each door opened. The door ajar chime only sounds once for each time the door is opened, and only repeats the chime if the door is closed then reopened.

The IPC receives the door ajar status from the GWM over the High Speed Controller Area Network 3 (HS3-CAN). The GWM receives the door ajar status from the BCM over the High Speed Controller Area Network 1 (HS1-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.
