Troubleshooting Hints - Audible Warning System

PERFORM BEFORE BEGINNING SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS:

NOTE: The Multi-Function Alarm Module will "go to sleep" 3 or 20 minutes after "key off" depending if the vehicle has traveled over 15 miles. Until the Multi-Function Alarm Module "goes to sleep," it will draw 60 - 80 ma. Once the Multi-Function Alarm Module "goes to sleep," the amperage draw will drop to 3 - 15 ma.

1. Check the ALARM Fuse, INSTR/PCM Fuse, and the INT LAMP Fuse by visual inspection.
^ Check for a broken (or partially broken) wire inside of the insulation which could cause system failure but prove "GOOD" in a continuity/voltage check (refer to "General Troubleshooting Procedures" under Diagrams/Diagnostic Aids).
^ Check for proper installation of aftermarket electronic equipment which may affect the integrity of other systems (refer to "General Troubleshooting Procedures" under Diagrams/Diagnostic Aids).
