DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Gauges And Warning Devices
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell
59 , Generic Electronic Module for schematic and connector
information.
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 60 , Instrument Cluster for schematic and connector information.
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 66 , Warning Chime for schematic and connector information.
Principles of Operation
Key- In-Ignition Warning Chime
The key- in-ignition warning chime activates when the generic electronic module (GEM) detects the
ignition switch circuits are in the OFF or ACC states and when the GEM detects the driver door is ajar
from the driver door ajar circuits. Refer to the Chime Duration Table in this section for audible output,
duration time, and priority ratings.
Airbag Warning Chime
The airbag warning chime activates when the GEM detects the ignition switch circuits are in the RUN
state and when the GEM detects a chime is requested from the airbag system circuit. Refer to the
Chime Duration Table for audible output, duration time, and priority ratings.
Door Ajar Warning Chime
The door ajar warning chime activates when the GEM detects the ignition switch circuits are in the
RUN state and when the GEM detects the driver or passenger door is ajar from the driver and
passenger door ajar circuits. Refer to the Chime Duration Table in this section for audible output,
duration time, and priority ratings.
Headlamps Left on Warning Chime
The headlamps left on warning chime activates when the GEM detects the ignition switch circuits are
in the KEYOUT state, when the GEM detects the driver door is ajar from the driver door ajar circuit, SECTION 413-

and when the GEM detects the headlamps or parklamps are on from the exterior lamp circuits. Refer
to the Chime Duration Table in this section for audible output, duration time, and priority ratings.
Safety Belt Warning Chime
The safety belt warning chime and safety belt warning lamp activate when the GEM detects the
ignition switch circuits are in the RUN or START state and when the GEM detects the safety belt is
unbuckled from the safety belt circuit. The safety belt warning lamp indicator will prove out for three
seconds whenever the GEM detects that the ignition circuits make a transition to RUN from OFF, ACC,
or KEYOUT state. Refer to the Chime Duration Table in this section for audible output, duration time,
and priority ratings.
Belt Minder
NOTE:
Belt minder is a configurable item. If configuring using a diagnostic tool, refer to Section 418 -
01 . To configure without using a diagnostic tool, refer to
Belt Minder Deactivating/Activating in this
section.
The belt minder feature supplements the current safety belt warning function. The belt minder feature
is enabled after the current safety belt warning is complete. If the driver safety belt is not buckled
approximately five seconds after the safety belt warning light has turned off, the belt minder reminds
the driver that their safety belt is unbuckled by intermittently sound a chime and illuminating the safety
belt warning lamp in the instrument cluster. While activated, the belt minder alternates the chime and
indicator from on for six seconds to off for 30 seconds.
The belt minder reminder stops when:
zthe drive seat belt is buckled.
z the ignition is turned to OFF or ACC.
z five minutes have elapsed since belt minder has started.
Inspection and Verification
NOTE: Upon installation of a new GEM, the module must be reconfigured. For additional information,
refer to Section 418 - 01 .
1. The warning lamps are a GEM controlled system; refer to Section 419 - 10 .
2. Verify the customer concern by operating the system in question.
3. Visually inspect for the following obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage.

WARNING: When lifting a plastic- cased battery, excessive pressure on the end walls
could cause acid to spew through the vent caps resulting in personal injury, damage to the
vehicle or to the battery. Lift with a battery carrier or with your hands on opposite corners.
1. Verify the customer concern by operating the engine to duplicate the concern.
2. Inspect the charging system (battery, generator cable, harness connectors, connections) to determine if any obvious mechanical or electrical concerns exist. If found, repair as necessary
and test the system for normal operation. Refer to the following tables:
3. Check the operation of the charging system warning indicator lamp (instrument cluster). Normal operation is as follows:
zWith the ignition switch OFF, the charging system warning indicator should be OFF.
z With the ignition switch in RUN and the engine off, the charging system warning indicator
light should be on.
z With the engine running, the charging system warning indicator light should be off.
4. Verify the battery is being charged. Carry out the Battery— Load Test. Refer to Component
Tests in this section.
5. If the customer concern is verified after the initial inspection, refer to the Symptom Chart to determine which tests to carry out.

The generic electronic module (GEM) is on the ISO 9141 network. The GEM module controls a variety
of systems including one touch down windows, wipers, perimeter anti-
theft, and warning chimes. For
additional information, refer to Section 419 - 10 .
The anti- lock brake control module communicates over the ISO 9141 communication network when
not equipped with traction control and communicates over the SCP communication network when it is
equipped with the traction control option. The anti- lock brake control module controls the brake
pressure to the four wheels to keep the vehicle under control while braking. For additional information
on anti- lock brake control module without traction control, refer to Section 206 - 09A . For additional
information on anti- lock brake control module with traction control, refer to Section 206 - 09B .
The instrument cluster is on the SCP communication network. The instrument cluster displays driver
information. The instrument cluster incorporates the PATS control module functions. For additional
information on the PATS system, refer to Section 419 - 01 . For additional information on the instrument
cluster, refer to Section 413 - 01 .
Inspection and Verification 1. Verify the customer concern.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of electrical damage.
3. If the concern remains after the inspection, connect diagnostic tool to the data link connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel and select the vehicle to be tested from diagnostic
tool menu. If diagnostic tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
zcheck that the program card is correctly installed.
z check that the correct version of the program card is installed.
z check the connections to the vehicle.
z check the ignition switch position.
If the diagnostic tool still does not communicate with the vehicle, go to Pinpoint Test H. 4. Go to Pinpoint Test PC.
