the X3 cavity of the horn relay to ground. Refer to
the appropriate wiring information. The wiring infor-
mation 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 con-
nectors, splices and grounds.
(a) If continuity is detected, proceed to step Step
3.
(b) If NO continuity, replace the horn relay.
(3) Remove the airbag trim cover from the steering
wheel and disengage horn connector.
(4) Install horn relay into Integrated Power Mod-
ule (IPM).
(a) If horn does not sound, replace airbag trim
cover.
(b) If horn sounds, repair grounded X3 circuit
from IPM to clockspring in the steering column.
HORNS WILL NOT SOUND
Check horn fuse#8intheIPM. If fuse is blown,
check for a shorted switch in the airbag module. and
refer to FUSE BLOWN section. If fuse is OK, refer to
FUSE OK section.
FUSE BLOWN
(1) Verify condition of battery terminals and volt-
age, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/BATTERY SYSTEM
- DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). 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 IPM. If the
amperage draw drops to 0 amps, the horn switch or
circuit is shorted. If the amperage draw does not
drop to 0 amps, repair short at the IPM.
(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 hornrelay to ground. If continuity is detected, the circuit
is grounded between the Junction Block and the
horns. Locate and repair pinched harness.
FUSE OK
(1) Remove the horn relay from the intelligent
power module.
(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, proceed to Step 3.
(b) If NO continuity, proceed 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, proceed to Step 4.
(4) Remove airbag trim cover from steering wheel.
Refer to ELECTRICAL, RESTRAINTS.
(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 trim cover.
(6) Install horn relay into intelligent power mod-
ule.
(7) Disengage wire connectors from horns.
(8) Using a voltmeter, with the horn switch
depressed test voltage across horn connector termi-
nals of the wire harness (Fig. 1).
(a) If voltage is detected, replace horns.
(b) If NO voltage, proceed to step 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.

IGNITION CONTROL
DESCRIPTION - IGNITION SYSTEM
NOTE: All engines use a fixed ignition timing sys-
tem. Basic ignition timing is not adjustable. All
spark advance is determined by the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM).
The distributorless ignition system used on these
engines is referred to as the Direct Ignition System
(DIS). The system's three main components are the
coils, crankshaft position sensor, and camshaft posi-
tion sensor. If equipped with the coil on plug ignition
system it utilizes an ignition coil for every cylinder, it
is mounted directly over the each spark plug.
OPERATION - IGNITION SYSTEM
The crankshaft position sensor and camshaft posi-
tion sensor are hall effect devices. The camshaft posi-
tion sensor and crankshaft position sensor generate
pulses that are inputs to the PCM. The PCM deter-
mines engine position from these sensors. The PCM
calculates injector sequence and ignition timing from
crankshaft & camshaft position. For a description of
both sensors, refer to Camshaft Position Sensor and
Crankshaft Position Sensor.

AUTO SHUT DOWN RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The relay is located in the Power Distribution Cen-
ter (PDC). For the location of the relay within the
PDC, refer to the PDC cover for location. Check elec-
trical terminals for corrosion and repair as necessary
OPERATION
The ASD sense circuit (SBEC vehicles) or the
engine switched battery (NGC vehicles) informs the
PCM when the ASD relay energizes. A 12 volt signal
at this input indicates to the PCM that the ASD has
been activated. This input is also used to power cer-
tain drivers on NGC vehicles.
When energized, the ASD relay on SBEC vehicles
supplies battery voltage to the fuel injectors, ignition
coils and the heating element in each oxygen sensor.
When energized, the ASD relay on NGC vehicles
provides power to operate the injectors, ignition coil,
generator field, O2 sensor heaters (both upstream
and downstream), evaporative purge solenoid, EGR
solenoid (if equipped) wastegate solenoid (if
equipped), and NVLD solenoid (if equipped).
For both SBEC and NGC vehicles, the ASD relay
also provides a sense circuit to the PCM for diagnos-
tic purposes. If the PCM does not receive 12 volts
from this input after grounding the control side of
the ASD relay, it sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC). The PCM energizes the ASD any time there is
an engine speed that exceeds a predetermined value
(typically about 50 rpm). The ASD relay can also be
energized after the engine has been turned off to per-
form an O2 sensor heater test, if vehicle is equipped
with OBD II diagnostics.
As mentioned earlier, the PCM energizes the ASD
relay during an O2 sensor heater test. This test is
performed only after the engine has been shut off for
SBEC vehicles. On NGC vehicles it checks the O2
heater upon vehicle start. The PCM still operates
internally to perform several checks, including moni-
toring the O2 sensor heaters.
CAMSHAFT POSITION
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The camshaft position sensor for the 3.3/3.8L is
mounted in the front of the timing case cover (Fig. 6)
and the camshaft position sensor for the 2.4L is
mounted on the end of the cylinder head (Fig. 3).
OPERATION
The camshaft position sensor provides cylinder
identification to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) (Fig. 1). The sensor generates pulses as
groups of notches on the camshaft sprocket pass
underneath it (Fig. 2). The PCM keeps track of
crankshaft rotation and identifies each cylinder by
the pulses generated by the notches on the camshaft
sprocket. Four crankshaft pulses follow each group of
camshaft pulses.
