age, refer to Group 8A, Battery. If battery connec-
tions and battery charge is OK proceed to Step 2.
(2) Using a voltmeter, test for battery voltage at
both sides of horn fuse 7. If voltage is OK, on both
sides of fuse, proceed to Fuse OK. If voltage is OK,
on one side of fuse, the fuse is blown, proceed 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. Proceed to Step 4. If
amperage draw is greater than 20 amps with the
horn switch depressed, a grounded circuit exists
between the horn relay and the horn. Proceed to step
Step 5.
(4) Remove the horn relay from the Junction
Block. If the amperage draw drops to 0 amps, the
horn switch or circuit is shorted. Refer to group 8W,
Wiring Diagrams for circuit information. If the
amperage draw does not drop to 0 amps, repair short
at the Junction Block.
(5) Disengage a wire connector from one of the
horns. If amperage drops and the connected horn
sounds, replace the faulty horn. If amperage does not
drop with both horns disconnected and the horn
switch depressed, proceed to Step 6.
(6) Using a continuity tester, with the horns dis-
connected test continuity of the X2 cavity of the horn
relay to ground. Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams
for circuit information. If continuity is detected, the
circuit is grounded between the Junction Block and
the horns. Locate and repair pinched harness.

take advantage of low current switching require-
ments in the vehicle. It is plugged into the Junction
Block at positions 4 (Fig. 1) where all wiring associ-
ated with its operation is terminated. The Junction
Block is adjacent to and left of the steering column of
the vehicle.
To gain access to the device, remove the lower
steering column cover and knee blocker, refer to
Group 8E, Instrument Panel and Systems.
The combination flasher may be operated in its
hazard warning mode either with or without the igni-
tion circuit being active. However, in order to operate
in the turn signal mode, the ignition circuit must be
completed to the module.
While the combination flasher is idle, there is no
current drawn through the module. The device does
not become active until a signal ground circuit is
supplied to either of the turn signal inputs or the
hazard warning input.
Typical flash rate for the flasher is 90 flashes per
minute.
When a lamp is burnt out for a given side of the
vehicle or a wire is open to a lamp, the flash rate will
increase to 180 flashes per minute when in the turn
signal mode. When in the hazard warning signal
mode the flash rate remains at 90 flashes per
minute.
Turn signal inputs that actuate the flasher are low
current grounds, each drawing a maximum of 300
mA., and are provided to the flasher through the
Junction Block from the multi-function switch that is
mounted to the steering column. The hazard warning
signal input is a low current ground drawing a max-
imum of 600 mA. through the multi-function switch.
COMBINATION FLASHER / DAYTIME RUNNING
LAMPS (DRL) MODULE
The Combination Flasher/DRL is a module provid-
ing turn signal, hazard warning, and daytime run-
ning light functions, and has been designed with
internal relays to take advantage of low current
switching requirements in the vehicle. It is plugged
into the junction block at positions 3 AND 4 (Fig. 2)
where all wiring associated with its operation is ter-
minated. The Junction Block is adjacent to and left of
the steering column of the vehicle.
To gain access to the device, remove the lower
steering column cover and knee blocker, refer to
Group 8E, Instrument Panel and Gauges.
The combination flasher/DRL may be operated in
its hazard warning mode either with or without the
ignition circuit being active. However, in order to
operate in the turn signal mode or the DRL mode,
the ignition circuit must be completed to the module.
While the combination flasher portion is idle, there
is no current drawn through the module. The devicedoes not become active in the turn signal or hazard
warning modes until a signal ground circuit is sup-
plied to either of the turn signal inputs or the hazard
warning input. With the ignition OFF, there is no
current drawn through the module.
While the ignition is ON, the front turn signal fil-
aments are illuminated steadily thus providing the
DRL function. The DRL function may be inhibited by
applying a signal ground input from either the park
brake circuit or the headlamp relay activation circuit.
Typical flash rate for the flasher is 90 flashes per
minute.
When a lamp is burnt out for a given side of the
vehicle or a wire is open to a lamp, the flash rate will
increase to 180 flashes per minute when in the turn
signal mode. When in the hazard warning signal
mode the flash rate remains at 90 flashes per
minute.
Turn signal inputs that actuate the flasher are low
current grounds, each could draw a maximum of 300
mA., and are provided to the flasher through the
Junction Block from the multi-function switch that is
mounted to the steering column. The hazard warning
signal input is a low current ground that could draw
a maximum of 600 mA. through the multi-function
switch.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
ACM monitors the system to determine the system
readiness. The ACM contains on-board diagnostics
and will light the AIRBAG warning lamp in the mes-
sage center when a problem occurs.
The driver and passenger airbag system is a safety
device designed to reduce the risk of fatality or seri-
ous injury, caused by a frontal impact of the vehicle.
The impact sensor provides verification of the
direction and severity of the impact. One impact sen-
sor is used. It is located inside the Airbag Control
Module (ACM) which is mounted on a bracket, just
forward of the center console. The impact sensor is
an accelerometer that senses deceleration. The decel-
eration pulses are sent to a microprocessor which
contains a decision algorithm. When an impact is
severe enough to require airbag protection, the ACM
micro processor sends a signal that completes the
electrical circuit to the driver and passenger airbags.
The sensor is calibrated for the specific vehicle and
reacts to the severity and direction of the impact.
CLOCKSPRING
The clockspring is snapped into a plastic mounting
platform on the steering column behind the steering
wheel. The clockspring is used to maintain a contin-
uous electrical circuit between the wiring harness
and the driver's airbag module. This assembly con-
sists of a flat ribbon like electrically conductive tape
which winds and unwinds with the steering wheel
rotation.
DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULES
The Driver Airbag Module is located in the center
of the steering wheel. The Passenger Airbag Module
is located in the instrument panel above the glove
box (Fig. 1). The Driver Airbag Module cover contains
the horn switch, inflator device, and a fabric bag. The
airbag cover/horn switch is serviced separately from
the inflator and bag components. Refer to Group 8G,
Horns for proper service procedure for horn switch.
The Passenger Airbag Module is serviced as an
assembly.
