Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.

  1. 5. Tests for voltage at the battery positive voltage terminal of the horn relay coil.
  2. 7. Tests for voltage at the battery positive voltage terminal of the horn relay switch. The HORN fuse supplies power to the battery positive voltage terminal of the horn relay switch.
  3. 14. The horns need maximum current flow to operate properly. A high resistance (greater than 0.5Ω) in the horn control circuit or the horn ground circuit could cause operating problems with the horns. Inspect the circuits for faults that would restrict current flow.
  4. 16. The horn relay control circuit includes the horn slip ring and the horn switch. The horn switch is part of the inflatable restraint steering wheel module. The horn slip ring and the horn switch must be tested for a high resistance, an open or a short to voltage when testing the relay control circuit.
