Supersession Statement

This PI was superseded to update Model Years. Please discard PIC6132

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

CONDITION/CONCERN

Some customers may state that the chime will sound for 8-10 minutes after the vehicle is running and all the doors are closed.

There will be no messages on the driver information center (DIC) and no dtc's in any module.

This difference may cause an unwanted chime.

If the Keyless Entry module has a older calibration, update the software and recheck for the concern.

If the concern is still there, follow normal diagnostics in SI
