RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with a pressure cap (Fig.
11). This cap releases pressure at some point within
a range of 124-to-145 kPa (18-to-21 psi). The pres-
sure relief point (in pounds) is engraved on top of the
capThe cooling system will operate at pressures
slightly above atmospheric pressure. This results in a
higher coolant boiling point allowing increased radi-
ator cooling capacity. The cap contains a spring-
loaded pressure relief valve. This valve opens when
system pressure reaches the release range of 124-to-
145 kPa (18-to-21 psi).
A rubber gasket seals the radiator filler neck. This
is done to maintain vacuum during coolant cool-down
and to prevent leakage when system is under pres-
sure.OPERATION
A vent valve in the center of the cap will remain
shut as long as the cooling system is pressurized. As
the coolant cools, it contracts and creates a vacuum
in cooling system. This causes the vacuum valve to
open and coolant in reserve/overflow tank to be
drawn through connecting hose into radiator. If the
vacuum valve is stuck shut, or overflow hose is
kinked, radiator hoses will collapse on cool-down.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - RADIATOR
PRESSURE CAP
Remove cap from radiator. Be sure that sealing
surfaces are clean. Moisten rubber gasket with water
and install the cap on pressure tester (tool 7700 or
an equivalent) (Fig. 12).
Operate the tester pump and observe the gauge
pointer at its highest point. The cap release pressure
should be 124 to 145 kPa (18 to 21 psi). The cap is
satisfactory when the pressure holds steady. It is also
good if it holds pressure within the 124 to 145 kPa
(18 to 21 psi) range for 30 seconds or more. If the
pointer drops quickly, replace the cap.CAUTION: Radiator pressure testing tools are very
sensitive to small air leaks, which will not cause
cooling system problems. A pressure cap that does
not have a history of coolant loss should not be
replaced just because it leaks slowly when tested
with this tool. Add water to tool. Turn tool upside
down and recheck pressure cap to confirm that cap
needs replacement.

DESCRIPTION..........................1
OPERATION............................1DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CHIME
WARNING SYSTEM.....................2
CHIME/BUZZER
DESCRIPTION
A chime warning system is standard factory-installed
equipment. The chime warning system uses a chime
tone generator and a contactless relay that are soldered
onto the electronic circuit board inside the ElectroMe-
chanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) to provide audible
indications of various vehicle conditions that may
require the attention of the vehicle operator or occu-
pants. The microprocessor-based EMIC utilizes elec-
tronic messages received from other modules in the
vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus network along with hard wired inputs to the cluster
to monitor many sensors and switches throughout the
vehicle. In response to those inputs, the circuitry and
internal programming of the EMIC allow it to control
audible outputs that are produced through its on-board
chime tone generator and contactless relay.
The EMIC circuitry and its chime tone generator are
capable of producing the following audible outputs:
²Single Chime Tone- A single, extended ªbeep-
likeº chime tone is issued as a seat belt reminder.
²Fast Rate Repetitive Chime Tone- Repeated
ªbeep-likeº tones that are issued at a fast rate as an
audible alert and to support various visual warnings.
²Slow Rate Repetitive Click Tone- Repeated
ªclick-likeº tones that are issued at a slow rate to
emulate turn signal and hazard flasher operation.
²Fast Rate Repetitive Click Tone-
Repeated
ªclick-likeº tones that are issued at a fast rate to emu-
late turn signal flasher operation with a bulb out.
Hard wired circuitry connects the EMIC and the var-
ious chime warning switch and sensor inputs to their
respective modules and to each other through the elec-
trical system of the vehicle. These hard wired circuits
are integral to the vehicle wire harness, which is routed
throughout the vehicle and retained by many different
methods. These circuits may be connected to each other,
to the vehicle electrical system and to the EMIC through
the use of a combination of soldered splices, splice block
connectors, and many different types of wire harness ter-
minal connectors and insulators. Refer to the appropri-
ate wiring information. The wiring information includeswiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair pro-
cedures, further details on wire harness routing and
retention, as well as pin-out and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
The EMIC chime tone generator and contactless
relay cannot be adjusted or repaired. If the chime
tone generator or contactless relay are damaged or
faulty, the entire EMIC unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The chime warning system components operate on
battery current received through a non-switched
fused B(+) circuit so that the system may operate
regardless of the ignition switch position. The Elec-
tro-Mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) also mon-
itors the ignition switch position so that some chime
features will only occur with ignition switch in the
On position, while others occur regardless of the igni-
tion switch position.
The chime warning system provides an audible
indication to the vehicle operator or occupants under
the following conditions:
²Engine Oil Level Low Warning- Each time
the ignition switch is turned to the On position, the
EMIC chime tone generator will generate a fast rate
repetitive chime tone if electronic messages are
received over the Controller Area Network (CAN)
data bus from the Engine Control Module (ECM)
indicating that the engine level is too low. The ECM
uses internal programming and hard wired inputs
from the engine oil level and temperature sensor to
determine the engine oil level. This audible warning
occurs in concert with the visual warning provided by
the multi-function indicator in the cluster.
²Fasten Seat Belt Reminder- Each time the
ignition switch is turned to the On position, the
EMIC chime tone generator will generate a single
extended chime tone for a duration of about six sec-
onds, or until the driver side front seat belt is fas-
tened, whichever occurs first. The EMIC uses
internal programming and a hard wired input from
the driver side front seat belt switch to determine
the status of the driver side front seat belt. This
audible warning occurs independent of the visual
warning provided by the EMIC ªSeatbeltº indicator.
VACHIME/BUZZER 8B - 1

²Lights-On Warning- The EMIC chime tone
generator will generate repetitive chime tones at a
fast rate when either front door is opened with the
ignition switch in any position except On, and the
exterior lights are turned On. The EMIC uses inter-
nal programming and hard wired inputs from the left
(lighting) control stalk of the multi-function switch,
the ignition switch, and both front door jamb
switches to determine the current status of these
switches. This chime will continue to sound until the
exterior lighting is turned Off, until the ignition
switch is turned to the On position, or until both
front doors are closed, whichever occurs first.
²Key-In-Ignition Warning-
The EMIC chime
tone generator will generate repetitive chime tones at a
fast rate when the key is in the ignition lock cylinder,
the ignition switch is in any position except On, and
either front door is opened. The EMIC uses internal
programming and hard wired inputs from the key-in
ignition switch, the ignition switch, and both front door
jamb switches to determine the current status of these
switches. The chime will continue to sound until the key
is removed from the ignition lock cylinder, until the
ignition switch is turned to the On position, or until
both front doors are closed, whichever occurs first.
²Audible Turn Signal/Hazard Warning Sup-
port-
The EMIC contactless relay will generate repeti-
tive clicks at a slow rate during normal turn signal/
hazard warning operation, or at a fast rate when a turn
signal lamp bulb or circuit is inoperative, in concert with
the operation of the turn signal indicators in the cluster.
These clicks are designed to emulate the sound of the
opening and closing of the contact points in a conven-
tional electro-mechanical turn signal or hazard warning
flasher. The EMIC uses a hard wired input received from
the turn signal relay in the fuse block beneath the steer-
ing column through the turn signal or hazard warning
switch circuitry of the multi-function switch to determine
when to flash the turn signal indicators and activate the
contactless relay on the cluster electronic circuit board.
The turn signal clicks will continue to sound until the
turn signal switch is turned Off, or until the ignition
switch is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs
first. The hazard warning clicks will continue to sound
until the hazard warning switch is turned Off.
The EMIC provides chime service for all available
features in the chime warning system. The EMIC relies
upon its internal programming and hard wired inputs
from the front door ajar switches, the key-in ignition
switch, the ignition switch, the seat belt switch, and the
turn signal/hazard warning (multi-function) switches.
The EMIC relies upon electronic message inputs
received from other electronic modules over the CAN
data bus network to provide chime service for the low
engine oil level warning. Upon receiving the proper
inputs, the EMIC activates the chime tone generator orthe contactless relay to provide the audible warning to
the vehicle operator. The internal programming of the
EMIC determines the priority of each chime request
input that is received, as well as the rate and duration
of each tone that is to be generated. See the owner's
manual in the vehicle glove box for more information on
the features provided by the chime warning system.
The hard wired chime warning system inputs to
the EMIC, as well as other hard wired circuits for
this system may be diagnosed and tested using con-
ventional diagnostic tools and procedures. However,
conventional diagnostic methods may not prove con-
clusive in the diagnosis of the EMIC, the CAN data
bus network, or the electronic message inputs used
by the EMIC to provide chime warning system ser-
vice. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means
to diagnose the EMIC, the CAN data bus network,
and the electronic message inputs for the chime
warning system requires the use of a DRBIIItscan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
