Door Ajar Warning Chime

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

The door ajar warning chime warns that a door or the luggage compartment lid is ajar and sounds a chime through the front speakers. When a door or the luggage compartment lid 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 or the luggage compartment lid 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 HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the door ajar status from the BCM over the HS-CAN1.

When a chime request is received, the IPC sends the IPC chime request message to the ACM and the audio DSP (with THX ® audio system) to sound the chime.
