WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR
BAG, SEE GROUP 8M, RESTRAINT SYSTEMS FOR
STEERING WHEEL OR COLUMN REMOVAL PROCE-
DURES.
The horn circuit consists of a horn switch, horn re-
lay, and horns. The horn circuit feed is from the fuse
box to the number 1 terminal on the horn relay.
When the horn switch is depressed, this completes
the circuit to ground. This activates the horn relay
and an set of contacts in the relay to close, which al-
lows current to flow to the horn(s). The horn ground
wire is attached to the headlamp ground screw (Fig.
1).
TESTING HORN SYSTEM
HORNS WILL NOT SOUND
If the horns do not sound, check for a blown horn
fuse in the fuse block. If the fuse is blown, replace it
with the same fuse type. If the horns fail to sound
and the new fuse blows when depressing the horn
switch, a short circuit in the horn or the horn wiring
between the fuse terminal and the horn is responsi-
ble. If the fuse is good, disconnect wire connector at
horn. Using an test lamp, connect one lead to the
negative terminal and the other to the positive ter-
minal (Fig. 2). Depress the horn switch, the test
lamp should illuminate. If not connect the test lamp wire to a good ground and depress the horn switch. If
test lamp lights inspect ground wire circuit and re-
pair as needed.
If the test lamp fails to illuminate, check for a de-
fective horn relay. Substituting a known good horn
relay in the circuit. If the test lamp illuminates
when depressing the horn switch, the original relay
is defective. If the test lamp fails to illuminate with
a known good relay, unplug that relay. Connect a
jumper wire from the battery terminal to the horn
terminal on the relay terminal board (Fig. 3, 4, or 5).
If the test lamp connected in place of the horns, fails
to illuminate an open circuit in the wiring between
the relay terminal and the horn switch is at fault re-
pair as necessary.
HORNS SOUND CONTINUOUSLY
CAUTION: Continuous sounding of horns may
cause relay to fail.
Should the horns sound continuously, unplug the
horn relay from the terminal board inside the pas-
senger compartment. Plug in a known good relay. If
the horns stop blowing, relay is defective and must
be replaced. Should the horns still sound, proceed as
follows: Connect one voltmeter lead to battery termi-
nal on relay board and the other lead to switch ter-
minal. Refer to Figs. 6, 7, or 8. Voltmeter will

in HIGH position and connect a test lamp between
motor Terminal 4 and ground (Fig. 12).
(2) If motor will not run on low speed, put switch
in LOW position and connect a test lamp between
motor Terminal 3 and ground. (3) If test lamp does not light at motor terminal,
there is an open in wiring or switch. If test lamp
lights at motor terminal, replace motor assembly.
CONDITION: MOTOR WILL KEEP RUNNING WITH SWITCH IN OFF POSITION
PROCEDURE
Remove wiring harness. Connect jumper from Ter-
minal 1 to Terminal 3 of wiper motor (Fig. 13). Con-
nect second jumper from Terminal 2 to battery (B+).

GENERAL INFORMATION
For proper operation of the Concealed Headlamp
System, refer to the Owner's Manual provided with
the vehicle.
The Concealed Headlamps are controlled by the Body
Controller (Fig. 1). Refer to Group 8E, Instrument
Panel for service procedures. The Body Controller re-
ceives input information from the ignition switch, head-
lamp switch, and the headlamp dimmer switch. The Body Controller also controls the headlamp doors
when the Passing Lights (manually flashing bright
lights) are used. With the headlamp switch turned off,
actuating the headlamp dimmer switch will signal the
Body Controller to open the headlamp doors. The oper-
ator then has two seconds to flash the bright lights be-
fore the Body Controller closes the headlamp doors.
Holding the headlamp dimmer switch in the engaged
position will signal the Body Controller to keep the
headlamp doors open until the dimmer switch is re-
leased. Actuating the headlamp dimmer switch with the
parking lamps ON signals the Body Controller to open
the headlamp doors and keep them open until the head-
lamp switch is turned off.
AY and AC vehicles use a single motor, centrally
located behind the radiator grille, and linked to the
headlamp doors by a torsion bar. Refer to Service
Procedures for more information. The headlamp door drive motors are equipped with
a manual override hand wheel to open or close the
headlamp doors if a failure should occur or servicing
is required. Access to the handwheel can be gained
through a flap covered hole in the sight shield be-
hind the bumper fascia, and under the hood. Several
revolutions of the handwheel may be required to
move the headlamp doors.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
Before diagnosing a problem with the headlamp
doors, check for possible collision damage, binding,
improperly installed assemblies, or freezing weather
conditions. When diagnosing an electrical problem, refer to:
² The Concealed Headlamps Electrical Diagnosis
chart in this section.
² The Wiring Diagrams Manual.
² The Headlamp Doors System section of the appro-
priate Body Diagnostic Procedures Manual.
PROBLEM
One headlamp door is inoperative when the head-
lamp switch is ON and the ignition switch is in the
RUN position. The other headlamp door operates
normally.
AC OR AY-VEHICLE BODY CHECK:
² Headlamp door pivot and crank for seizure.
² Headlamp torsion bar sleeve or clip for excessive
wear or breakage.
² Headlamp door crank for missing or broken screw.
² Headlamp torsion bar for disengagement or break-
age.
PROBLEM
Headlamp door operates erratically.
CHECK:
² For freezing weather conditions.
² For excessive effort to move headlamp door pivots.
² For corrosion or improperly aligned components.
² For stripped motor reduction gears.
² For defective body controller. Refer to the Con-
cealed Headlamp Electrical Diagnosis chart in this
section. Also refer to the Wiring Diagrams Manual

SERVICE OF DEPLOYED AIR BAG MODULE
After an air bag has been deployed, the air bag
module and clockspring must be replaced because
they cannot be reused. Other air bag system compo-
nents are replaced if damaged.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE INSPECTION
Vehicles equipped with a Air Bag System must be
inspected every three years or 30,000 miles / 48,000
Km. The following items should be inspected. (1) Inspect components for damage or deteriora-
tion. (a) If the air bag module housing shows signs of
physical damage or abuse, replace the module. (b) Check that both front impact sensors are
properly installed to the upper crossmember of the
radiator closure panel. Repair as required.
(2) Check the air bag warning lamp for proper op-
eration as follows: (a) Turn ignition switch to the ON position, the
air bag warning lamp should light. If not, test the system using the DRB II and Passive Restraint
System Diagnostic Procedures Manual. Repair as
required.
(b) The air bag warning lamp lights, but fails to go
out after ten seconds. Test the system using the DRB
II and Passive Restraint System Diagnostic Proce-
dures Manual. Repair as required. (c) Erasing of fault codes is not required.
AIR BAG SYSTEM CHECK
WARNING: BEFORE BEGINNING ANY AIR BAG SYS-
TEM CHECK PROCEDURES, REMOVE AND ISOLATE
THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (-) CABLE (GROUND)
FROM THE VEHICLE BATTERY. THIS IS THE ONLY
SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM.
FAILURE TO DO THIS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDEN-
TAL AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PER-
SONAL INJURY.
WHEN AN UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY IS
TO BE REMOVED FROM THE STEERING WHEEL,
DISCONNECT BATTERY GROUND CABLE AND
ISOLATE. ALLOW SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DIS-
CHARGE FOR TWO MINUTES, THEN BEGIN AIR
BAG REMOVAL. (1) Disconnect the battery negative cable and iso-
late. (2) Remove forward console or cover as necessary.
(3) Connect DRB II to ASDM diagnostic 6-way con-
nector, located at right side of module. (4) Turn the ignition key to ON position. Exit vehicle
with DRB II. Use the latest version of the proper
cartridge. (5) After checking that no one is inside the vehicle,
connect the negative battery cable. (6) Using the DRB II, read and record active fault
data. (7) Read and record any stored faults.
(8) Refer to the Passive Restraint Diagnostic Test
Manual if any faults are found in steps 6 and 7. (9) Erase stored faults if there are no active fault
codes. If problems remain, fault codes will not erase. (10) With the ignition key in the ON position, make
sure no one is in the vehicle. (11) From the passenger side of vehicle, turn the
ignition key to OFF then ON and observe the instru-
ment cluster air bag lamp. It should go on for 6 to 8
seconds, then go out; indicating system is functioning
normally. If air bag warning lamp either fails to light,
blinks on and off or goes on and stays on, there is
a system malfunction. Refer to the Passive Re-
straint Diagnostic Test Manual to diagnose the
problem.

STEERING COLUMN COMPONENT SERVICE
The Acustar tilt and standard steering columns
(Fig.1) have been designed to be serviced as an as-
sembly; less wiring, switches, shrouds, steering
wheel, etc. Also most steering column components
can be serviced without removing the steering col-
umn from the vehicle. For additional information on
electrical components refer to Group 8H Electrical.
GEAR SHIFT LEVER
The gear shift lever (if equipped) is a serviceable
component of the Acustar steering column assembly.

shown in (Fig. 1) using a suitable size socket. (2) Using a drift of the appropriate size drive the
roll pin out of the steering column and gear shift le-
ver (Fig. 1). Remove the gear shift lever from the
steering column assembly.
INSTALL (1) Support the steering column assembly as
shown in (Fig. 1) using a suitable size socket. (2) Install the gear shift lever into the steering col-
umn assembly. Align the roll pin holes in the gear
shift lever and the steering column assembly. (3) Carefully Install the roll pin into the steering
column assembly and through the shift lever. If the
roll pin binds check the alignment on the holes. Be
sure roll pin is fully installed into the steering col-
umn assembly.
IGNITION SWITCH SERVICE
TEST AND REPAIR
If the ignition switch effort seems to be excessive
due to binding. Follow the procedure outlined below
to determine the cause.
When service procedures are performed on the
Acustar steering column there are certain areas of the
column that can not be tampered with. If a problem re-
lated to these areas of the steering column are detected.
The entire steering column (less the removable compo-
nents) should be replaced see (Fig. 2 and 3).
(1) Remove ignition switch from steering column.
Refer to Group 8H Electrical.
(2) Using a key cylinder, check the turning effort
of the switch.
