HORN SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAG, REFER TO ELECTRICAL, RESTRAINTS FOR
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. DISCONNECT THE NEGA-
TIVE CABLE FROM THE BATTERY BEFORE SER-
VICING COMPONENTS INVOLVING THE AIRBAG
SYSTEM. ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAG
AND PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
The horn circuit consists of a horn switch, clock
spring, wiring, horn relay, and horns. The horn
switch is a membrane switch located in the airbag
trim cover. The horn is located below the right side
headlamp.
OPERATION
The horn circuit feed is from the fuse to the horn
relay in the Junction Block. When the horn contact is
depressed, it completes the ground circuit. Then the
horn relay coil closes a set of contacts which allows
current to flow to the horn. The horn is grounded at
the shock tower through the headlamp and dash har-
ness. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
The wiring information includes wiring diagrams,
proper wire and connector repair procedures, details
of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-
out information and location views for the various
wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HORN SYSTEM
CAUTION: Continuous sounding of horns will cause
horn to fail.
Check fuse 8 in the Junction Block, and refer to
Horn System Test table.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire
harness routing and retention, connector pin-out
information and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HORN
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire
harness routing and retention, connector pin-out
information and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
Check horn fuse 16 in the Power Distribution Cen-
ter and fuse 8 in the Junction Block. If fuse is blown
refer to FUSE BLOWN. If fuse is OK, refer to FUSE
OK.
FUSE BLOWN
(1) Verify condition of battery terminals and volt-
age, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/BATTERY SYSTEM
- DESCRIPTION). If battery connections and battery
charge is OK, go to Step 2.
(2) Using a voltmeter, test for battery voltage at
both sides of horn fuse 8. If voltage is OK, on both
sides of fuse, go to Fuse OK. If voltage is OK, on one
side of fuse, the fuse is blown, go to Step 3.
(3) Using a suitable ammeter in place of the fuse,
test amperage draw of the horn circuit. If amperage
draw is greater than 20 amps without the horn
switch depressed, a grounded circuit exists between
the fuse and the horn relay. Go to Step 4. If amper-
age draw is greater than 20 amps with the horn
switch depressed, a grounded circuit exists between
the horn relay and the horn. Go to Step 6.
(4) Remove the horn relay from the Junction
Block. If the amperage draw drops to 0 amps, the
horn switch or circuit is shorted. If amperage does
not drop go to Step 5.
(5) Disconnect both horns. If amperage does not
drop with both horns disconnected and the horn
switch depressed, go to Step 7. If the amperage draw
drops go to Step 6.
(6) Disconnect the wire connector from one of the
horns. If amperage drops and the connected horn
sounds, reverse the procedure, and replace the faulty
horn.
(7) Using a continuity tester, with the horns dis-
connected test continuity of the X2 cavity of the horn
relay to ground. If continuity is detected, the circuit
is grounded between the Junction Block and the
horns. Locate and repair pinched harness. If the
amperage draw does not drop to 0 amps, repair short
at the Junction Block.
FUSE OK
(1) Remove the horn relay from the Junction
Block.
(2) Using a continuity tester, Depress horn switch
and test continuity from the X3 cavity of the horn
relay to ground.
(a) If continuity is detected, go to Step 3.
(b) If NO continuity, go to Step 4.
(3) Using a suitable jumper wire, jump across the
fuse F62 cavity and the X2 cavity of the horn relay in
the Junction Block.
(a) If the horn sounds, replace the horn relay.
(b) If the horn does not sound, go to Step 4.
(4) Remove airbag/horn pad from steering wheel.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS/DRIVER
AIRBAG - REMOVAL).
(5) Test continuity across horn switch connectors
with horn switch depressed.
(a)
If continuity is detected, repair open circuit
between the relay and the horn switch.
(b) If NO continuity, replace airbag cover.
(6) Install horn relay into Junction Block.
(7) Disconnect the wire connector from horn.
(8) Using
a
voltmeter,
with
the
horn
switch
depressed test voltage across horn connector termi-
nals of the wire harness.
(a)
If voltage is detected, replace horn.
(b)
If NO voltage, go to Step 9.
(9) With the horn switch depressed, test for volt-
age between the X2 circuit and ground.
(a) If voltage OK, repair system ground at right
cowl area.
(b) If NO voltage, repair open X2 circuit between
the relay and the horns.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove right side headlamp unit. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING
-
EXTERIOR/
HEADLAMP UNIT - REMOVAL).
(3) Remove horn mounting bolt.
(4) Disconnect wire harness connector.
INSTALLATION
(1) Connect wire harness connector.
(2) Install horn mounting bolt.
(3) Install right side headlamp unit. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING
-
EXTERIOR/
HEADLAMP UNIT - INSTALLATION).
(4) Connect battery negative cable.

HORN RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The horn relay is a International Standards Orga-
nization (ISO) micro-relay. The terminal designations
and functions are the same as a conventional ISO
relay. However, the micro-relay terminal orientation
(or footprint) is different, current capacity is lower,
and the relay case dimensions are smaller than on
the conventional ISO relay.
OPERATION
The horn relay is a electromechanical device that
switches current to the horn when the Driver Airbag
Module is depressed.
The horn relay is located in the Junction Block.
Refer to the Junction Block label for horn relay iden-
tification and location.
If a problem is encountered with a continuously
sounding horn, it can usually be quickly resolved by
removing the horn relay from the Junction Block
until further diagnosis is completed. The horn relay
cannot be repaired and, if faulty, it must be replaced.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HORN RELAY
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire
harness routing and retention, connector pin-out
information and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
(1) Remove horn relay from the Junction Block.
(2) Using ohmmeter, test between the Junction
Block relay terminal 7 and ground for continuity.
(a) When the horn contact is not depressed, no
continuity.
(b) Continuity to ground when horn contact is
depressed.
(c) If continuity is not correct, repair horn con-
tact or wiring as necessary.
(3) Insert a jumper wire between terminals 8 and
10 of the horn relay in the Junction Block.
(a) If horn sounds replace relay.
(b) If the horn does not sound, install horn relay
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/HORN/HORN - DIAG-
NOSIS AND TESTING).
(4) Using voltmeter, test battery voltage:
(a) Test Junction Block horn relay terminals 6
and 8 for voltage from fuse 8.
(b) If not OK, repair as necessary.
HORN SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The horn switch is molded into the airbag trim
cover. The horn switch can not be serviced separately.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS/DRIVER
AIRBAG - REMOVAL) for service procedures.
