Air Bag Warning Chime
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The air bag warning chime warns the driver that a fault has occurred in the supplemental restraints system (SRS) and that the air bag warning indicator lamp is not working by sounding a chime when the ignition switch is in the RUN position for more than 20 seconds. When these conditions exist, the restraints control module (RCM) sends a chime request through the communication network to the instrument cluster (IC). The instrument cluster (IC) then activates the warning chime. The warning consists of 5 sets of five 1-second tone bursts. Each set is separated by 5 seconds of silence. The warning is repeated every 30 minutes.
