rkel95z Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 2014 Ford Edge SEL This has happened every once in awhile for a few months now. It’s very similar to the regular warning chime but instead of the three notes we’re all familiar with, it’s just 2 notes and plays more rapidly. Previously it would just play the two notes once, this last time it played three times, rapidly. I’ll try to get a recording of it but as I said, it’s only every once in awhile. Today I was waiting in my car with it turned off for maybe 30 minutes, when I started my car back up I already had my seatbelt on, and off went this strange chime. My instinct is telling me it’s code for something, but I can’t find anything on the web about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 Welcome to the Forum, @rkel95z! From the 2014 Edge Workshop Manual... Warning Chimes The warning chimes provide the driver with audible warnings that act as reminders and supplemental alerts to the visual Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) indications. The deviation from this strategy is the air bag warning chime, which alerts the driver that the primary alerting system (air bag warning indicator) does not operate. The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) controls all warning chimes based on messages received from external modules. The warning chime system consists of the following: Door ajar switch Key-in-ignition warning switch (part of the ignition switch) Liftgate ajar switch Safety belt buckle switch (part of the safety belt buckle) IPC Body Control Module (BCM) Restraints Control Module (RCM) The following chimes are controlled by the IPC : Adaptive cruise control Air bag warning Belt-Minder® Door ajar Forward collision warning Headlamps on Key-in-ignition Memory feedback Message center MyKey® speed Parking brake applied Perimeter alarm Safety belt warning Service AdvanceTrac® Turn signal/hazard on Warning Chime Characteristics Each warning chime has unique characteristics. The warning chimes use volume, chime frequency, length of time the chime sounds and the number of chime tones to identify which chime is sounding. The IPC prioritizes the chimes according to a preset hierarchy programmed into the IPC software. When more than one chime request is received by the IPC , the most important chime sounds. If a lower priority chime is currently sounding, the higher priority request takes over and replaces the lower priority chime. There are 3 different chime types as listed below: Repetitive Single tone Tick-tock NOTE: The following table illustrates and provides an explanation of the differences between the different chimes and the chime characteristics. The condition description entry in the table applies to the Edge. The MKX is similar but may vary with the number of chime tones, number of sequences and the duration of the chime tones. The following table provides a summary of the chimes and chime characteristics: IPC Chime Characteristics Chime Name Chime Type Condition Description Adaptive cruise control Single (high priority or low priority) The high priority chime and low priority chime sound for a single chime tone when driver intervention is required. Air bag Repetitive The chime sounds five 1 second chime tones. Belt-Minder® A and B Repetitive The chime sounds 6 chime tones/safety belt warning indicator flash sequences for as long as the IPC receives the Belt-Minder® chime request. Door ajar Single tone The chime sounds a single 1.6 second chime tone when any door changes from the closed to the open state with vehicle speed greater than 5 km/h (3 mph). Forward collision warning Single The chime sounds for a single 1.5 second chime tone when a forward collision potential has been detected. Headlamps on Repetitive The chime sounds a 1.6 second chime tone for as long as the headlamps are on and the IPC receives the chime on command. The chime shuts off when battery saver has expired (approximately 30 minutes). Key-in-ignition Repetitive The chime sounds a single 1 second chime tone for as long as the key is in the lock cylinder with the ignition off (except Intelligent Access (IA) ) or the ignition is in ACC (with IA ) with the door ajar. The chime shuts off when battery saver has expired (approximately 30 minutes). Memory feedback Single tone The chime sounds for 0.1 second when the IPC receives a memory state change message. Message center Single tone The chime is a single 1.6 second tone chime that sounds whenever the IPC receives a new message commanding on one of the message center warnings. Parking brake on Repetitive The chime sounds a single 1 second chime tone for as long as the parking brake is applied and the IPC receives the chime on command. Perimeter alarm Repetitive On for 12 seconds when the driver door is opened using a key and the alarm is armed. The chime sounds 2 chime tones for the first 6 seconds followed by 3 chime tones for the next 4 seconds and finally 4 chime tones for the last 3 seconds. Safety belt Repetitive The chime sounds 1.6 second tones for 6 minutes or as long as the safety belt is unbuckled and the IPC receives the chime on command. Service AdvanceTrac® Repetitive The chime sounds three 1.0 second chime tones after an 8 second delay for as long as the IPC receives the chime request on command. Turn signal/hazard on Tick-tock On for as long as the RH or LH turn signal or hazards are on and the IPC receives the chime on command. Adaptive Cruise Control Warning Chime The adaptive cruise control warning chime supplements the message center displays to draw the driver's attention to the need to intervene and take control of the vehicle. There are 2 levels of chime output (high priority and low priority) based upon the nature and urgency of the warning. The low priority adaptive cruise control warning chime is a single-tone chime that sounds to alert the driver that the adaptive cruise control system has shut itself off due to low vehicle speed (approximately 32 km/h [20 mph]) and the driver needs to intervene if further braking is required or to resume the adaptive cruise control operation. The high priority adaptive cruise control warning chime is also a single tone chime that is longer than the low priority chime. The chime increases in intensity and alerts the driver that the vehicle is approaching the vehicle ahead at a faster rate then the adaptive cruise control system can brake the vehicle and that the driver needs to apply the brakes to slow the vehicle down. The adaptive cruise control warning chime inputs are: Ignition state Adaptive cruise control warning chime request communicated by the Cruise-Control Module (C-CM) to the IPC over the HS-CAN Air Bag Secondary Warning Chime The air bag secondary warning chime warns that the air bag warning indicator light is inoperative and that a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) fault condition exists. The IPC monitors the air bag warning indicator status internally. When a fault is present in the air bag warning indicator and the IPC receives an air bag warning indicator on request from the Restraints Control Module (RCM) , the air bag secondary warning chime sounds. The air bag secondary warning chime inputs are: Ignition state Air bag warning indicator chime request communicated by the RCM to the IPC Belt-Minder® The Belt-Minder® is configurable. Refer to Belt-Minder® Deactivating/Activating in this section. The Belt-Minder® feature supplements the current safety belt warning function and is enabled after the current safety belt warning is complete. The Belt-Minder® reminds the driver that the driver or front passenger safety belt is unbuckled by intermittently and simultaneously sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning indicator in the IPC once the vehicle speed has exceeded 9.7 km/h (6 mph). The Belt-Minder® remains active for 5 minutes from the time it is started. While activated, the Belt-Minder® chime provides a series of 6 chimes/safety belt warning indicator flash sequences, which consist of a 1 second chime tone and safety belt warning indicator on/off state. The Belt-Minder® chime and the safety belt warning indicator sound and flash for 6 seconds, then the chime stops and the safety belt warning indicator remains on for 30 seconds. The IPC repeats the chime cycle for 5 minutes. If the vehicle speed drops below 4.8 km/h (3 mph) once the Belt-Minder® chime has activated, the chime turns off and the safety belt warning indicator remains on. When the vehicle speed exceeds 9.7 km/h (6 mph) again, the Belt-Minder® chime resumes. NOTE: Whenever the vehicle is operated using MyKey®, the RCM enables the Belt-Minder®. When MyKey® is in use, the driver cannot configure the Belt-Minder® off. Once the Belt-Minder® is activated, the Belt-Minder® continues to chime periodically (does not time out after 5 minutes) and the audio system is muted until the driver and passenger safety belts are fastened. Refer to Section 419-01B for more information on the MyKey® feature. The Belt-Minder® warning chime inputs are: Ignition state Driver or passenger safety belt warning chime request communicated by the RCM to the IPC through the HS-CAN Door Ajar Warning Chime The door ajar warning chime warns that a door is ajar. The door ajar warning chime is a single chime with a 1 second duration. The door ajar chime sounds when a door or liftgate becomes ajar while the ignition is in RUN with vehicle speed greater than 5 km/h (3 mph). The door ajar warning chime inputs are: Ignition state Door ajar or liftgate ajar message from the Body Control Module (BCM) Vehicle speed input greater than 5 km/h (3 mph) Forward Collision Warning Chime The forward collision warning chime warns that a forward collision potential has been detected or the Cruise-Control Module (C-CM) module detects a forward collision warning system concern. Once the forward collision system detects a possible forward collision, the C-CM sends the Head Up Display (HUD) module a message to flash the forward collision warning and a message to the IPC to sound the forward collision warning chime while muting the audio system. The forward collision warning system also provides a confirmation chime to inform the driver that the forward collision system configuration (chime or system on/off) has been changed. The forward collision warning system and chime can be configured off using the message center. Refer to Section 419-03B. When MyKey® is in use, the driver cannot configure the forward collision warning system or chime off. Refer to Section 419-01B for more information on the MyKey® feature. The forward collision warning chime inputs are: Ignition state Forward collision warning alert and confirmation chime commands communicated by the HUD module through the HS-CAN Headlamps On Warning Chime The headlamps on warning chime warns that the headlamps are on when the driver door is ajar and the key is removed from the ignition lock cylinder (without Intelligent Access (IA) ) or when the ignition is in OFF (with IA ). The headlamps on warning chime sounds if the driver door is ajar, the headlamp switch is in the PARK or HEADLAMP position, and the ignition is in OFF (key out without IA ). The headlamp on warning chime stops sounding when any of the above inputs are removed. The headlamps on warning chime inputs are: Ignition state determined by the BCM Door ajar input from the driver door ajar switch to the BCM Headlamp switch input to the BCM Headlamps on chime request communicated by the BCM to the IPC through the HS-CAN Key-In-Ignition Warning Chime The key-in-ignition warning chime warns that the key is still in the ignition lock cylinder when the driver door is ajar (without IA ) or that the ignition is in ACC (with IA ). The key-in-ignition warning chime sounds when the driver door is ajar, the key is in the ignition lock cylinder and in the OFF/LOCK or ACC position (without IA ) or when the ignition is in ACC (with IA ). The key-in-ignition warning chime inputs are: Ignition state Key-in-ignition switch position to the BCM (without IA ) Door ajar input from the driver door ajar switch to the BCM Key-in-ignition chime request communicated by the BCM to the IPC through the HS-CAN Memory Feedback Feature Chime The memory feedback feature chime informs the driver that their preferences have been successfully programmed through the memory set procedure. The memory feedback chime inputs are: Ignition state Memory feedback chime request communicated by the Driver Seat Module (DSM) to the BCM over the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) Memory feedback chime request communicated by the BCM to the IPC over the HS-CAN Message Center Warning Chime The message center warning chime feature draws the driver's attention to the message center display to view a new warning message. The IPC provides a single 1 second tone whenever a new warning message is displayed in the message center. If multiple warning messages are present, the IPC sounds a chime for each of the warning messages that are present as they cycle through the message center display. Parking Brake Warning Chime The parking brake warning chime warns that the parking brake is engaged when the vehicle is in motion. The parking brake warning chime sounds if the ignition is in ON, the parking brake is engaged, and the vehicle speed is greater than 4.8 km/h (3 mph). The parking brake warning chime stops sounding and resets if the parking brake is released, the ignition is not in the ON state, if the vehicle speed is less than 4.8 km/h (3 mph), or after 90 seconds from the time the chime is activated. The parking brake warning chime inputs are: Ignition state Parking brake switch status to the BCM Vehicle speed data communicated by the PCM to the BCM through the HS-CAN Parking brake warning chime request communicated by the BCM to the IPC through the HS-CAN Safety Belt Warning Chime The safety belt warning chime warns that the safety belt is not fastened. The safety belt warning chime sounds when the driver safety belt is not fastened and the ignition is transitioned from OFF or ACC to ON or START. The safety belt warning chime stops sounding when the safety belt is fastened, when the ignition is transitioned from ON or START to OFF or ACC, or when the chime has sounded for approximately 6 seconds. The safety belt warning chime inputs are: Ignition state Driver safety belt warning chime request communicated by the RCM to the IPC through the HS-CAN Service AdvanceTrac® Warning Chime The service AdvanceTrac® warning chime warns that the ABS module has detected a fault condition in the AdvanceTrac® system. The SERVICE ADVANCETRAC message is displayed in the message center along with the chime. The service AdvanceTrac® warning chime inputs are: Ignition state Service AdvanceTrac® warning chime request communicated by the ABS to the IPC through the HS-CAN Turn Signal Left On Warning Chime The turn signal left on warning chime warns that the turn signal has not been cancelled. The turn signal left on warning chime sounds if the left or right turn signal is on and the vehicle has traveled more than 3.2 km (2.0 miles). The turn signal left on warning chime stops sounding if the turn signal is turned off or if the ignition is switched to OFF or ACC. The turn signal left on warning chime inputs are: Ignition state Turn signal on data communicated by the BCM to the IPC through the HS-CAN Odometer count data communicated by the PCM to the IPC through the HS-CAN Turn/Hazard On Tone Since the turn/hazard flasher is an electronic function of the BCM , the on/off sound that used to be present with standard bi-metal flashers is no longer present. To provide an audible sound and indicate that the RH/LH TURN or HAZARD indicators are on, the IPC provides a tick-tock tone along with the visual turn signal indicators. The turn/hazard on tone inputs are: The left and right turn indicator signal from the BCM to the IPC through the HS-CAN System Warning Messages The system warning messages alert the operator to possible problems or malfunctions in the vehicle operating systems. System warning messages may be stand-alone messages but are often associated with another form of indication such as a gauge, an indicator or message center indicator. The message center displays the last selected feature if there are no additional warning messages. Once a warning message has been displayed, the message must be acknowledged to allow full functionality of the message center. Press the OK button to acknowledge and clear the warning message. When the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) receives a request to display an informational warning message or a fault condition warning message, the message center may display one of the following warning messages: Body The body warning messages are as follows: DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIFTGATE AJAR PASSENGER DOOR AJAR REAR LEFT DOOR AJAR REAR RIGHT DOOR AJAR REMOVE OBJECTS NEAR PASSENGER SEAT TO STOP ALARM START VEHICLE TRANSPORT MODE CONTACT DEALER Chassis The chassis warning messages are as follows: BRAKE FLUID LEVEL LOW CHECK ADAPTIVE HEADLAMPS CHECK BATTERY CHARGE CHECK PARK AID FUEL LEVEL LOW XXX MILES/KM TO E LOW TIRE PRESSURE PARK BRAKE ENGAGED SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FAULT TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR FAULT TRACTION CONTROL OFF TRAILER SWAY REDUCE SPEED WASHER FLUID LEVEL LOW Powertrain The general powertrain warning messages are as follows: CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM CHECK FUEL FILL INLET ENGINE COOLANT OVER TEMP LOW BATTERY FEATURES TEMPORARILY TURNED OFF LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE OIL CHANGE REQUIRED TURN POWER OFF TO SAVE BATTERY The Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) warning messages are as follows: AWD OFF CHECK AWD Intelligent Access (IA) The message center displays warning messages indicating the status of the IA system.
