CHIME / BUZZER
DESCRIPTION
A chime warning system is standard factory-in-
stalled equipment. The chime warning system uses a
chime tone generator and a contactless relay that are
soldered onto the electronic circuit board inside the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) to
provide audible indications of various vehicle condi-
tions that may require the attention of the vehicle
operator or occupants. The microprocessor-based
EMIC utilizes electronic 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 gener-
ator and contactless relay.
The EMIC circuitry and its chime tone generator
are capable of producing the following audible out-
puts:
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
emulate turn signal flasher operation with a bulb
out.
Hard wired circuitry connects the EMIC and the
various chime warning switch and sensor inputs to
their respective modules and to each other through
the electrical 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 sys-
tem and to the EMIC through the use of a combina-
tion of soldered splices, splice block connectors, andmany different types of wire harness terminal con-
nectors and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wir-
ing information. The wiring information includes
wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair
procedures, 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-
troMechanical 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
VACHIME/BUZZER 8B - 1
Page 855 of 2305

the status of the driver side front seat belt. This
audible warning occurs independent of the visual
warning provided by the EMIC ªSeatbeltº indicator.
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 cylin-
der, 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 cur-
rent status of these switches. The chime will con-
tinue 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
repetitive 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 inopera-
tive, 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 conventional electromechanical
turn signal or hazard warning flasher. The EMIC
uses a hard wired input received from the turn sig-
nal relay in the fuse block beneath the steering col-
umn through the turn signal or hazard warning
switch circuitry of the multi-function switch to deter-
mine 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 inputsreceived 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 or
the 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 diagnostic scan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CHIME WARNING
SYSTEM
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, on
vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supple-
mental restraint system before attempting any
steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt
tensioner, or instrument panel component diagno-
sis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery
negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for
the system capacitor to discharge before perform-
ing further diagnosis or service. This is the only
sure way to disable the supplemental restraint sys-
tem. Failure to take the proper precautions could
result in accidental airbag deployment.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CENTRAL TIMER
MODULE
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, on
vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supple-
mental restraint system before attempting any
steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt
tensioner, or instrument panel component diagno-
sis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery
negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for
the system capacitor to discharge before perform-
ing further diagnosis or service. This is the only
sure way to disable the supplemental restraint sys-tem. Failure to take the proper precautions could
result in accidental airbag deployment.
The hard wired inputs to and outputs from the
central timer module (CTM) may be diagnosed and
tested using conventional diagnostic tools and meth-
ods. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, conventional diagnostic methods may not
prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the CTM. In
order to obtain conclusive testing of the CTM, the
programmable communications interface (PCI) data
bus network and all of the modules that provide
inputs to or receive outputs from the CTM must also
be checked. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the CTM, the PCI data bus net-
work, and the modules that provide inputs to, or
receive outputs from, the CTM requires the use of a
DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnos-
tic information.

ENGINE CONTROL MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The electronic control module (ECM) is mounted to
the left lower dash panel and consists of an electronic
printed circuit board which is designed as a milliliter
board assembly fitted on both sides. The routing of
the wiring harness connector at the ECM connector
are split into interfering cables and sensitive cables
in order to achieve improved electromagnetic compat-
ibility. The smaller wiring harness connector is used
for the vehicle wiring harness and the larger harness
is used for the engine wiring harness. The ECM
stores engine specific data, monitors the connected
sensor and analyzes their measurement (Fig. 2).
Its task consists in controlling the following sys-
tems in line with the analysis of the input signals:
²Fuel Supply System
²Injected Quantity Control
²Emission Control System
²Charge Pressure Control
²Cruise Control
²A/C Compressor Shut-Off
²Pre-Heating Output Relay for the Glow Plugs
²Vehicle Theft
²Air Bag
²Monitors inputs/outputs, checks plausibility and
stores faults
²Share information with other control modules
²Diagnosis
If a sensor should fail, provided the fault is not
serious, the ECM will continue to operate the engine
in Limp-Home Mode (emergency mode) using a
default value for the missing signal. The ECM
ensures that, continuing to operate the engine will
not cause damage or effect safety, otherwise a Engine
shut-off process will be carried out (Fig. 3).Fig. 1 Central Timer Module

SPECIAL TOOLS
GENERATOR
DESCRIPTION
The generator is belt-driven by the engine using a
serpentine-type drive belt. It is serviced only as a
complete assembly. If the generator fails for any rea-
son, the entire assembly must be replaced.
On certain engines, the decoupler pulley may be
replaced separately.
OPERATION
As the energized rotor begins to rotate within the
generator, the spinning magnetic field induces a cur-
rent into the windings of the stator coil. Once the
generator begins producing sufficient current, it also
provides the current needed to energize the rotor.
The stator winding connections deliver the induced
AC current to 3 positive and 3 negative diodes for
rectification. From the diodes, rectified DC current isdelivered to the vehicle electrical system through the
generator battery terminal.
Although the generators appear the same exter-
nally, different generators with different output rat-
ings are used on this vehicle. Be certain that the
replacement generator has the same output rating
and part number as the original unit. Refer to Spec-
ifications and see Generator Ratings for amperage
ratings and part numbers.
Noise emitting from the generator may be caused
by: worn, loose or defective bearings; a loose or defec-
tive drive pulley (decoupler pulley); incorrect, worn,
damaged or misadjusted fan drive belt; loose mount-
ing bolts; a misaligned drive pulley or a defective sta-
tor or diode.
An instrument panel mounted, battery charge indi-
cator lamp is used. When the key is in the on posi-
tion, the lamp will be illuminated. This is done as a
bulb check. If this lamp remains illuminated while
the engine is running, a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) has been detected for the charging system.
REMOVAL
CAUTION: DISCONNECT NEGATIVE CABLE FROM
BATTERY BEFORE REMOVING BATTERY OUTPUT
WIRE FROM GENERATOR. FAILURE TO DO SO
CAN RESULT IN INJURY.
