Horns System Description and Operation

System Description

The horn system consists of the following components:

    • Horn 15A fuse
    • Horn relay
    • Horn switch
    • Horn
    • Body control module (BCM)

System Operation

    • The vehicle horn is activated whenever the horn switch is depressed.
    • The BCM commands the horns ON under any of the following conditions:
       - When the content theft deterrent system detects a vehicle intrusion--For further information refer to Content Theft Deterrent (CTD) Description and Operation .
       - When the keyless entry system is used to lock the vehicle, a horn chirp may sound to notify the driver that the vehicle has been locked. The notification feature may be enabled or disabled through personalisation.

Circuit Operation

The body control module (BCM) controls the horn operation, when the horn switch is pressed, it closes a switch pulling the horn signal circuit low. When the BCM detects the drop in voltage in the horn switch signal circuit, it energises the Horn relay which provides B+ voltage to the horn control circuit, sounding the horn.
