2022 Jeep Wrangler Speed Warning Chime TSB

Symptoms

Owners of the 2022 Jeep Wrangler may notice an unusual behavior with their vehicle's speed warning system. Instead of the typical single chime alert, the system produces a continuous sound. Specifically, the symptom is described as: "Speed warning alert/Chime chimes continuously above a 80 KPH (50 MPH) speed - instead of one time chime alert."

This continuous chime can be distracting and indicates an underlying issue within the vehicle's electrical system related to its configuration.

Diagnosis and Trigger Conditions

The continuous speed warning chime is triggered when the vehicle's speed exceeds approximately 80 KPH (50 MPH). The issue is not a malfunction of the chime itself, but rather an incorrect or corrupted vehicle configuration that causes the alert to persist rather than sound once and then cease.

This particular issue, affecting the 2022 Jeep Wrangler, falls under the EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL component category, suggesting a software or electronic control unit misconfiguration.

Repair Procedure Summary

To address the continuous speed warning chime in affected 2022 Jeep Wrangler vehicles, a specific service procedure is required. This bulletin, identified as NHTSA Manufacturer Communication 10248620, instructs technicians to perform a "Restore Vehicle Configuration" procedure.

This process typically involves connecting the vehicle to a diagnostic tool to access and reset or re-load the factory configuration settings. This ensures that the speed warning alert system functions as intended, providing a single chime when the speed threshold is met, rather than a continuous alert.

Owner Action

If you own a 2022 Jeep Wrangler and are experiencing a continuous speed warning chime above 50 MPH, it is recommended to contact your authorized Jeep dealership. Inform them about the symptom and refer to NHTSA Manufacturer Communication 10248620. The dealership will be able to perform the necessary "Restore Vehicle Configuration" procedure to correct the issue.

This repair is generally covered under warranty if your vehicle is within the applicable warranty period, as it addresses a manufacturer-identified issue with the vehicle's electrical configuration. Addressing this promptly will restore the correct functionality of your speed warning system and eliminate the distracting continuous chime.
