DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)

(3) Continuity should be observed between the
ground shell of the connector and the mounting hard-
ware on the vehicle antenna. The wheel well splash
shield must be removed for access to the antenna
that is mounted on load beam.
BENCH TEST FOR ANTENNA MALFUNCTION
It is also possible to check short or open circuits
with an ohmmeter or continuity light once the
antenna has been removed from the vehicle.
(1) Continuity should be present between the tip of
the mast and radio lead in (Fig. 2).
(2) No continuity should be observed or a very
high resistance of several megohms between the
ground shell of the connector and radio end pin.
(3) Continuity should be observed between the
ground shell of the connector and the mounting
bracket.Wiggle cable over its entire length to
reveal intermittent short or open circuits dur-
ing step 1, 2 and 3.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAG, SEE GROUP 8M, PASSIVE RESTRAINT SYS-
TEMS FOR STEERING WHEEL REMOVAL.
The horn circuit consists of a horn switch, horn
relay, and horn. The horn circuit feed is from the fuse
to the horn relay in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC). The PDC is mounted on the battery tray.
When the horn switch is depressed, it completes the
ground circuit. The horn relay coil closes contacts
and allows current to flow to the horn. The horn is
grounded to the headlamp ground connection (Fig. 1).
HORN SWITCH
The horn switch is mounted between the outer and
inner cover of the Driver Airbag Module (Fig. 2).
When the Driver Airbag is pressed the horn switch
makes contact to ground. The ground signal is car-
ried to the horn relay and the horn sounds.
(1) The horn switch grounds to the airbag housing.
(2) If horn does not sound check for corrosion:
²Horn wire
²Horn switch ground connected to airbag metal
housing
²Airbag to steering wheel
²Ensure horn wire is properly connected and
insulator is in place on wire
(3) Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams if wire
circuit needs to be repaired.
