OPERATION
There are three positions that can be selected with
each of the heated seat switches: Off, Low, or High.
When the top of the switch rocker is fully depressed,
the High position is selected and the high position
LED indicator illuminates. When the bottom of the
switch rocker is fully depressed, the Low position is
selected and the low position LED indicator illumi-
nates. When the switch rocker is moved to its neutral
position, Off is selected and both LED indicators are
extinguished.
Both switches provide separate resistor multi-
plexed hard wire inputs to the BCM to indicate the
selected switch position. The BCM monitors the
switch inputs and sends heated seat switch status
messages to the Heated Seat Module (HSM) or the
Memory Heated Seat Module (MHSM) over the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data
bus. The HSM or MHSM responds to the heated seat
switch status messages by controlling the output to
the seat heater elements of the selected seat. The
Low heat position set point is about 36É C (97É F),
and the High heat position set point is about 41É C
(105É F).

HORN SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
A dual-note electric horn system is standard facto-
ry-installed equipment on this model. The standard
equipment horn system features one low-note horn
unit and one high-note horn unit. The horn system
allows the vehicle operator to provide an audible
warning of the presence or approach of the vehicle to
pedestrians and the drivers of other vehicles in near
proximity. The horn system uses a non-switched
source of battery current so that the system will
remain functional, regardless of the ignition switch
position.
The horn system can also be activated by the Body
Control Module (BCM). The BCM is programmed to
activate the horns in order to provide the following
features:
²Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system lock
request audible verification (except export)
²RKE system panic mode audible alert
²Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) audible
alarm.
This vehicle also offers several customer program-
mable features, which allows the selection of several
optional electronic features to suit individual prefer-
ences. Refer to Overhead Console for more informa-
tion on the customer programmable feature options.
Customer programmable feature options affecting the
horn system include:
²Sound Horn on Lock- Allows the option of
having the horn sound a short chirp as an audible
verification that the RKE system received a valid
Lock request from the RKE transmitter, or having no
audible verification.The horn system includes the following compo-
nents:
²Clockspring
²Horns
²Horn relay
²Horn switch
Certain functions and features of the horn system
rely upon resources shared with other electronic
modules in the vehicle over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus network. The
PCI data bus network allows the sharing of sensor
information. This helps to reduce wire harness com-
plexity, internal controller hardware, and component
sensor current loads. At the same time, this system
provides increased reliability, enhanced diagnostics,
and allows the addition of many new feature capabil-
ities. For diagnosis of these electronic modules or of
the PCI data bus network, the use of a DRB scan
tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual
are recommended.
The other electronic modules that may affect horn
system operation are as follows:
²Body Control Module (BCM)(Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/BODY CONTROL/CENTRAL TIMER MODUL
- DESCRIPTION) for more information.
²Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD
CONSOLE/ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFO CENTER
- DESCRIPTION) for more information.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS/CLOCK-
SPRING - DESCRIPTION) for more information on
this component. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information. The wiring information includes wiring
diagrams, proper wire and connector repair proce-
dures, details of wire harness routing and retention,
WJHORN 8H - 1

connector pin-out information and location views for
the various wire harness connectors, splices and
grounds. Following are general descriptions of the
remaining major components in the horn system.
OPERATION
The horn system is activated by a horn switch con-
cealed beneath the driver side airbag module trim
cover in the center of the steering wheel. Depressing
the center of the driver side airbag module trim cover
closes the horn switch. Closing the horn switch acti-
vates the horn relay. The activated horn relay then
switches the battery current needed to energize the
horns.
The BCM can also activate the horn system by
energizing the horn relay through a single hard
wired output circuit. The BCM energizes and de-en-
ergizes the horn relay in response to internal pro-
gramming as well as message inputs received over
the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI)
data bus network. The BCM can energize the horn
relay for a single chirp (RKE lock request), or for
extended operation (RKE panic mode and VTSS
alarm mode).
Refer to the owner's manual in the vehicle glove
box for more information on the features, use and
operation of the horn system.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HORN SYSTEM
In most cases, any problem involving continually
sounding horns can be quickly alleviated by removing
the horn relay from the Power Distribution Center
(PDC). Refer to Horn Relay for the proper removal
procedure. Refer to the appropriate wiring informa-
tion. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
further details on wire harness routing and reten-
tion, as well as pin-out and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.

AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
(1) Remove the horn relay from the PDC. (Refer to
8 - ELECTRICAL/HORN/HORN RELAY -
REMOVAL) for the procedures.
(2) A relay in the de-energized position should
have continuity between terminals 87A and 30, and
no continuity between terminals 87 and 30. If OK, go
to Step 3. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(3) Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (elec-
tromagnet) should be 75   5 ohms. If OK, go to Step
4. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(4) Connect a battery to terminals 85 and 86.
There should now be continuity between terminals
30 and 87, and no continuity between terminals 87A
and 30. If OK, perform the Relay Circuit Test that
follows. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
RELAY CIRCUIT TEST
(1) The relay common feed terminal cavity (30) is
connected to battery voltage and should be hot at all
times. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the open
circuit to the fuse in the PDC as required.
(2) The relay normally closed terminal (87A) is
connected to terminal 30 in the de-energized position,
but is not used for this application. Go to Step 3.(3) The relay normally open terminal (87) is con-
nected to the common feed terminal (30) in the ener-
gized position. This terminal supplies battery voltage
to the horn(s). There should be continuity between
the cavity for relay terminal 87 and the horn relay
output circuit cavity of each horn wire harness con-
nector at all times. If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK,
repair the open circuit to the horn(s) as required.
(4) The coil battery terminal (86) is connected to
the electromagnet in the relay. It is connected to bat-
tery voltage and should be hot at all times. Check for
battery voltage at the cavity for relay terminal 86. If
OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the open circuit to
the fuse in the PDC as required.
(5) The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to
the electromagnet in the relay. It is grounded
through the horn switch when the horn switch is
depressed. The horn relay coil ground terminal can
also be grounded by the Body Control Module (BCM)
in response to certain inputs related to the RKE sys-
tem or the Vehicle Theft Security System. Check for
continuity to ground at the cavity for relay terminal
85. There should be continuity with the horn switch
depressed, and no continuity with the horn switch

HORN SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
A center-blow, normally open, resistive membrane-
type horn switch is secured in a plastic tray that is
inserted in a pocket sewn on the front of the driver
side airbag retainer strap. The horn switch is con-
cealed behind the driver side airbag module trim
cover in the center of the steering wheel. The switch
consists of two plastic membranes, one that is flat
and one that is slightly convex. These two mem-
branes are secured to each other around the perime-
ter. Inside the switch, the centers of the facing
surfaces of these membranes each has a grid made
with an electrically conductive material applied to it.
One of the grids is connected to a circuit that pro-
vides it with continuity to ground at all times. The
grid of the other membrane is connected to the horn
relay control circuit.
The steering wheel and steering column must be
properly grounded in order for the horn switch to
function properly. The horn switch and plastic tray
are serviced as a unit. If the horn switch is damaged
or faulty, or if the driver side airbag is deployed, the
horn switch and tray must be replaced as a unit.
OPERATION
When the center area of the driver side airbag trim
cover is depressed, the electrically conductive grids
on the facing surfaces of the horn switch membranes
contact each other, closing the switch circuit. The
completed horn switch circuit provides a ground for
the control coil side of the horn relay, which activates
the relay. When the horn switch is released, the
resistive tension of the convex membrane separates
the two electrically conductive grids and opens the
switch circuit.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HORN SWITCH
