Door Ajar Warning
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The audio amplifier activates the door ajar audible warning as requested by the body control module (BCM). The BCM sends a GMLAN message to the radio indicating the chime frequency of a medium rate and continuous duration. The door ajar warning sounds and the door ajar indicator illuminates when the following occurs:
- The BCM determines that the driver door is open and the signal circuit is low. The instrument panel cluster (IPC) also receives a GMLAN message from the BCM requesting illumination of the door ajar indicator.
- The vehicle is not in PARK. The BCM receives a GMLAN message from the ECM/BCM indicating the gear position.
