Ignition-Engine On Warning Chime

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The ignition-engine on chime informs the driver they are exiting the vehicle when the ignition has been left on (engine off) or the engine is running. When the driver exits the vehicle with the ignition on or with the engine running, the ignition-engine on warning chime sounds five 1-second chime tones through the front speakers. The IPC uses driver door ajar status, power pack status, transmission gear display mode and vehicle speed messaged inputs to control the ignition-engine on warning chime.

The IPC receives the driver door ajar status, power pack status, transmission gear display and vehicle speed messages from the GWM over the HS-CAN3.

The GWM receives the driver door ajar status message from the BCM over the HS-CAN1.

The GWM receives the power pack status and vehicle speed messages from the PCM over the HS-CAN1.

The GWM receives the transmission gear display mode message from the PCM (gas engine) or TCM (diesel engine) over the HS-CAN1.

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