Step	Action	Yes	No
Schematic Reference: Audible Warnings Schematics
1	Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle?	Go to Step 2	Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information
2	Do any indicators illuminate when the chime sounds?	Go to Symptoms - Instrument Panel, Gages and Console	Go to Step 3
3	Turn the ignition OFF. Remove the key from the ignition. Turn the headlamp switch to OFF. Open the driver door. Does the chime sound?	Go to Step 4	Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems
4	Install a scan tool. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. With a scan tool, perform the Chime Test in the instrument panel cluster (IPC). Does the chime stop when you select OFF?	Go to Step 5	Go to Step 16
5	With a scan tool, observe the Park Lamp Input in the body control module (BCM) Lamp Status data list. Does the Park Lamp Input parameter display Inactive?	Go to Step 6	Go to Step 7
6	Close the drivers door. With a scan tool, observe the Driver Door Ajar SW parameter in the BCM Lamp Status data list. Does the Driver Door Ajar SW parameter display OFF?	Go to Step 8	Go to Courtesy Lamps Always On in Lighting Systems
7	Turn the ignition OFF. Disconnect the BCM connector C2. Connect a test lamp between the park lamp switch on input circuit and a good ground. Does the test lamp illuminate?	Go to Step 9	Go to Step 15
8	Turn the ignition OFF. Remove the key from the ignition. Disconnect the BCM connector C2. Connect a test lamp between the key in ignition signal circuit and battery positive voltage. Does the test lamp illuminate?	Go to Step 10	Go to Step 15
9	Test the park lamp switch on input circuit for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 17	Go to Step 11
10	Test the key in ignition signal circuit for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 17	Go to Step 12
11	Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the headlamp switch. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 17	Go to Step 13
12	Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the ignition key alarm switch. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 17	Go to Step 14
13	Replace the multifunction turn signal switch assembly. Refer to Multifunction, Turn Signal Switch Replacement in Steering Wheel and Column. Did you complete the replacement?	Go to Step 17	-
14	Replace the ignition switch. Refer to Ignition Switch Replacement in Steering Wheel and Column. Did you complete the replacement?	Go to Step 17	-
15	Replace the BCM. Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement?	Go to Step 17	-
16	Replace the IPC. Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement?	Go to Step 17	-
17	Operate the system in order to verify the repair. Did you correct the condition?	System OK	Go to Step 3
