Horn - Description

DESCRIPTION

This vehicle comes equipped with either a single or a dual-note horn system that features one or two electromagnetic horn units. The horn system includes the following major components:

- Horn(s) - The horn(s) are located on the upper radiator cross member at the front of the engine compartment, below the upper splash shield. The splash shield must be removed to gain access to the horns for removal.
- Horn Fuse(s) - The horn fuse(s) are located in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM).
- Horn Switch - The horn switch consists of four individual buttons that are mounted to the steering wheel armature beneath the driver airbag unit. The four button style switches are only serviced as a unit.

On vehicles with an optional Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), the horn switch shares the same circuit as the right EVIC switch. This switch is also a LIN bus slave, sharing a LIN input circuit to the CCN (LIN master) with the Steering Control Module (SCM), which is also a LIN bus slave. The right EVIC switch also shares an IOD feed and a ground feed in common with the SCM.
Vehicles with an optional EVIC and steering wheel mounted switches (except LX) have a unique horn switch electrical architecture. For more information on the EVIC Electronic Vehicle Information Center - Description.
