Possible Causes

HORN INOPERATIVE PINPOINT TEST REFERENCE

PINPOINT TEST 1 HORN IS INOPERATIVE
STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1 CHECK THE VOLTAGE TO THE HORN
  • Disconnect: Horn 0922-201.
  • Measure the voltage between the horn 0922-201 pin 1, circuit (Y/LG), harness side and ground with the horn switch pressed.
  • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
Yes Go to next step.
No Verify the SJB fuse 13 (15A) is OK. If OK, go to step 3.
2 CHECK CIRCUIT (B) FOR AN OPEN
  • Measure the resistance between the horn 0922-201 pin 2, circuit (B), harness side and ground.
  • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
Yes Install a new horn. See HORN . Test the system for normal operation.
No Repair circuit (B) for an open. Test the system for normal operation.
3 BYPASS THE SJB
  • Connect: Horn 0922-201.
  • Disconnect: SJB J-2280a.
  • Connect a fused (15A) jumper wire between the SJB J-2280a pin 30, circuit (Y/LG), harness side and between the SJB J-2280a pin 32, circuit (R), harness side.
  • Does the horn sound? 
Yes Go to next step.
No Verify the battery junction box (BJB) fuse 5 (50A) is OK. If OK, repair circuit (Y/LG) for an open. Test the system for normal operation.
4 CHECK CIRCUIT (DL) AT THE SJB FOR AN OPEN
  • Disconnect: SJB J-2280d.
  • Measure the resistance between the SJB J-2280d pin 18, circuit (DL), harness side and ground under the following conditions:
  • Are the resistances correct? 
Yes Go to step 7.
No Go to next step.
5 CHECK CIRCUIT (DL) FOR AN OPEN
  • Key OFF.
  • Remove the driver air bag module. See DRIVER AIR BAG MODULE .
  • Disconnect: Clockspring 0922-202.
  • Measure the resistance between the clockspring 0922-202 pin 5, circuit (DL), harness side and the SJB J-2280d pin 18, circuit (DL), harness side.
  • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
Yes Go to next step.
No Repair circuit (DL) for an open. Install the driver air bag module. See DRIVER AIR BAG MODULE . Test the system for normal operation.
6 CHECK THE CLOCKSPRING FOR AN OPEN
  • Key OFF.
  • Disconnect: Upper clockspring connector.
  • Measure the resistance between the clockspring 0922-202 pin 5, circuit (DL), component side and the upper clockspring pin 5, component side; and between the clockspring 0922-202 pin 2, circuit (B/W), component side and the upper clockspring pin 1, circuit (B/W), component side.
  • Are the resistances less than 5 ohms? 
Yes Install a new steering wheel. See STEERING WHEEL . Test the system for normal operation.
No Install a new clockspring. See CLOCKSPRING . Test the system for normal operation.
7 CHECK THE SJB OPERATION
  • Disconnect all the SJB connectors.
  • Check for:
    • - corrosion
    • - pushed out pins
  • Connect all the SJB connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
  • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
  • Is the concern still present? 
Yes Install a new SJB. See SMART JUNCTION BOX (SJB) . Test the system for normal operation.
No The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
