Audible Warnings Circuit Description Domestic
HAZARD fuse 5 through CKT 1040 (ORN)
powers at all times the multi-function alarm module. The multi-function alarm
module has ground through CKT 150 (BLK) to ground G201. The
multi-function alarm module produces audible warning alarms under the following
conditions:
• | The driver's side safety belt is not fastened |
• | The headlights remain lit |
• | The park lights remain lit |
• | The key remains in the ignition switch as the driver exits the
vehicle |
Fasten Seat Belt Warning Alarm
The safety belt lamp on the instrument cluster lights when the ignition
switch is in the RUN position or in the START position. The
audible alarm sounds for 5 seconds. The safety belt lamp flashes
after 15 seconds. The light automatically extinguishes and the audible
alarm automatically silences by fastening the seat belt. Fastening the
driver's side seat belt opens the contacts in the seat belt switch. This
action opens the ground path to ground G201 through CKT 238
(BLK/WHT) and CKT 150 (BLK). The multi-function alarm module senses
that the seat belt is fastened. When the ignition switch is in the RUN position
or in the START position, the multi-function alarm module senses
voltage from GAUGES fuse 4 through CKT 39 (PNK). An
unfastened seat belt and the ignition switch in the RUN position
or the START position meet the alarm conditions. However, a timing
circuit in the module inhibits the alarm after 5 seconds when the
conditions remain present. The alarm remains inhibited after the seat belt
opens following the 5-second delay.
Key-In Warning Alarm
The key-in warning alarm is present when the key remains in the ignition
switch and the driver door opens. The alarm remains present until the removal
of the key or the closing of the door. The multi-function alarm module senses
that the key is in the ignition switch and the door is open by the ground
path to CKT 80 (LT GRN) through the following paths:
• | The key-in warning switch in the steering column |
• | The left front door jamb switch |
• | CKT 150 (BLK) to ground. |
For recreational vehicles with upfitter provisions, the ground is G200
and G201. For all other vehicles, the ground is G201. Any open path in the
ground path inhibits the alarm.
Lamp-On Warning Alarm
The lamps-on warning alarm is present when the headlights or the park
lights remain on when the ignition switch is in the OFF position. The
alarm remains present until the lights are turned off or until the ignition
switch moves to the RUN position or to the START position.
With the headlamps or the parking lamps lighted, the multi-function
alarm module senses voltage from the PARK LPS fuse 9 through
the following path:
• | The instrument panel (IP) dimmer switch |
When the IP dimmer switch adjustment is for very dim illumination, the
voltage sensed at the multi-function alarm module is sometimes too small for
setting the logic and enabling the alarm. Verify the alarm function with
an adjustment for the maximum illumination at the IP dimmer switch.
When the ignition switch is in the RUN position or in the START position,
the multi-function alarm module senses voltage from GAUGES fuse 4
through CKT 39 (PNK). Voltage is present from the IP dimmer switch
but not from GAUGES fuse 4 meets the alarm conditions.

Circuit Operation
HAZARD fuse 5 powers the multifunction alarm module at all times
through CKT 1040 (ORN). The multifunction alarm module is grounded
through CKT 150 (BLK) to G201. This module produces audible warning
alarms under the following conditions:
• | when the driver's side safety belt is not fastened |
• | when the headlights are left on |
• | when the park lights are left on |
• | when an overspeed alarm warning condition occurs |
• | when the key is left in the ignition switch as the driver exits
the vehicle |
Fasten Safety Belts Warning Alarm
The safety belt lamp on the instrument cluster will light and the audible
alarm will sound for 5 seconds if the driver's side seat belt is not
fastened when the ignition switch is placed in the RUN or START positions.
The light will automatically extinguish and the audible alarm will be automatically
silenced either by fastening the seatbelt or by waiting5 seconds.
When the driver's side seat belt is fastened, contacts in the seat belt
switch open. This opens the ground path to G201 through CKT 238 (BLK/WHT)
and CKT 150 (BLK). The mulitfunction alarm then senses that the seat
belt is fastened.
When the ignition switch is in the RUN or START positions, voltage is
sensed at the multifunction alarm module from GAUGES fuse 4 through
CKT 39 (PNK).
If the seat belt is not fastened and the ignition switch is in the RUN
or START positions, the alarm conditions are met. However, a timing circuit
in the module inhibits the alarm after five seconds if the conditions remain
present. If the seat belt is opened after the five second delay, the alarm
remains inhibited.
Key-In Warning Alarm
The key-in warning alarm is presented if they key reamins in the ignition
switch and the driver's side door is opened. This alarm remains present until
the key is removed or the door is shut. The multifunction alarm module senses
that the key is in the ignition switch and that the door is open by a ground
path through the following components:
• | the key-in warning switch in the steering column |
• | the left front door jamb switch |
• | CKT 150 (BLK) to ground. |
For recreational vehicles with the upfitter package, the ground is G200.
For all other vehicle, ground is G201. Any open in the ground path will inhibit
the alarm.
Lamps-On Warning Alarm
The lamps-on warning alarm is presented if the headlights or the park
lights remain on when the ignition switch is turned off. The alarm reamins
present until the lights are turned off or the ignition switch is placed
in the RUN or START positions.
With the headlamps or park lights on, voltage is sensed by the multifunction
alarm module through the following components:
With the IP dimmer switch adjusted for very dim illumination, the voltage
sensed at the multifunction alarm module may be too small to set the logic
and enable the alarm. Testing should be done with the IP dimmer switch adjusted
for maximum illumination.
With the ignition switch in the RUN or START positions, voltage is sensed
by the multifunction alarm module from GAUGES fuse 4 through CKT 39
(PNK). When this voltage is not present, but voltage from the IP dimmer
switch is present, the alarm conditions are met.
Overspeed Warning Alarm
The overspeed warning alarm is sounded when the vehicle exceeds a speed
of 120 km/h. This speed is not adjustable, and is based on a frequency
signal sent from the vehicle control module on CKT 389 (DK GRN).
This signal is also sent to the instrument cluster for the speedometer/odometer
function.
