The horn circuit consists of a horn switch, clock-
spring, horn relay, horns and Integrated Power Mod-
ule (IPM). The horn switch is a membrane switch
located in the airbag trim cover. The horns are
located forward of the left front wheel behind the
bumper fascia.
OPERATION
The horn relay plugs into the Integrated Power
Module (IPM) which is located in the engine com-
partment. For circuit information and component
locations, refer to the appropriate wiring information.
The wiring information 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 connectors, splices and grounds.
The horns will not function if the switch is
ªCLOSEDº for more than 30 seconds. Once the
switch is ªOPENº, a 20±30 second delay will occur
before the horns are functional again.

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.

LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR
DESCRIPTION
LAMP SYSTEMS
Lighting circuits are protected by fuses. Lighting
circuits require an overload protected power source,
on/off device, lamps and body ground to operate prop-
erly. Plastic lamps require a wire in the harness to
supply body ground to the lamp socket. Replace sock-
ets and bulbs that are corroded.
Some of the interior and exterior lighting functions
are governed by the Body Control Module (BCM).
The headlamp, dome, and the door ajar switches pro-
vide signals to the BCM. The BCM in turn sends a
Programmable Communication Interface (PCI) bus
message to the Front Control Module (FCM) to
enable the necessary drivers to set the required illu-
mination configuration.
Wire connectors can make intermittent contact or
become corroded. Before coupling wire connectors,
inspect the terminals inside the connector. Male ter-
minals should not be bent or disengaged from the
insulator. Female terminals should not be sprung
open or disengaged from the insulator. Bent and
sprung terminals can be repaired using needle nose
pliers and pick tool. Corroded terminals appear
chalky or green. Corroded terminals should be
replaced to avoid recurrence of the problem symp-
toms.
Begin electrical system failure diagnosis by testing
related fuses in the fuse block and intelligent power
module. Verify that bulbs are in good condition and
test continuity of the circuit ground. Refer to the
appropriate wiring information.
AUTOMATIC HEADLAMP SYSTEM
The Automatic Headlamp system turns the instru-
mentation and exterior illumination lamps ON when
the ambient light levels are Night and the engine
RPM is 450 or above, and OFF when light levels are
Day.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS
Operating the high-beam headlamps at reduced
power provides daytime running lamps, which are
required on all new Canadian vehicles.
HEADLAMPS ON WITH WINDSHIELD WIPERS
For vehicles equipped with the Automatic Head-
lamp System, the instrumentation and exterior illu-
mination lamps will be turned ON when the
headlamp switch is in the AUTO position, RPM >
450 and the windshield wipers have been in the
intermittent, low or high mode of operation for more
than ten seconds. When the windshield wipers are
turned OFF the Body Control Module will determine
if the instrumentation and exterior illumination
lamps should remain ON base upon the current
ambient light level.
HEADLAMP SYSTEM
The configuration of the headlamp system of head-
lamps, park lamps and fog lamps is determined by
the BCM. The BCM determines the lighting configu-
ration as a result of the inputs from the ignition
switch, headlamp switch and multi-function switch. A
PCI bus is transmitted from the BCM to the FCM to
enable the necessary drivers to set the illumination
configuration. Four wires are connected between the
headlamp switch and the BCM. The first wire con-
tains information regarding the position of the head-
lamp switch (Off, Automatic Headlamps, Automatic
Headlamp switch fog, Park with Fog, Head, or Head
with Fog Lamps). The second wire contains informa-
tion regarding the position of the dimmer switch
(Dome Lamp, Daytime Brightness, Dimming Level or
Off). The third wire is a dedicated signal return
(ground) wire. The fourth wire provides power to the
front fog lamp indicator.
HEADLAMP TIME DELAY SYSTEM
The headlamp time delay system is controlled by
the Body Control Module (BCM) via a PCI bus mes-
8L - 2 LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIORRS
ProCarManuals.com
Page 504 of 2399
sage transmitted by the BCM to the FCM to turn off
the headlamps.
OPERATION
AUTOMATIC HEADLAMP SYSTEM
Automatic headlamps are controlled by the Body Con-
trol Module (BCM). With the headlamp switch in the
AUTO position, the BCM will control the headlamp, park-
ing, side marker, tail and instrumentation lamps based on
ambient light levels. Ambient light levels are monitored
by the BCM using the Day/Night signal and Electrochro-
matic Mirror (ECM) present from the Compass Mini Trip
(CMTC) located on the front windshield in front of the
rear view mirror ECM. Ambient light readings are aver-
aged to limit cycling the lamps ON and OFF when pass-
ing through areas with varying light levels. The
automatic headlamps will only function when the engine
is running with RPM > 450. When the headlamp switch is
in the AUTO position (Automatic mode), the Headlamp
Time Delay system will function when the ignition switch
is placed in any position other than run/start.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS
Power is reduced using pulse-width modulation to
the high beams, where by the power is switched on
and off rapidly instead of remaining on continuously.
The duration and interval of the power pulses is pro-
grammed into the FCM.
HEADLAMP SYSTEM
The headlamp system will default to headlamps
ON position when ignition switch is ON and when an
open or short circuit failure occurs on the headlamp
switch input. The system will return to normal oper-
ation when the open or short is repaired. A fault will
be reported by the BCM when a failure occurs on the
dimmer or headlamp switch input.
If the exterior lamps are ON and the headlamp
switch is in any position other than OFF or AUTO
and with the ignition switch OFF (LOCK) after 3
minutes the BCM sends a message via PCI bus to
the FCM informing the FCM to turn off the head-
lamps, park lamps and fog lamps. This feature pre-
vents the vehicle battery from being discharged when
the vehicle lights have been left ON.
HEADLAMP TIME DELAY SYSTEM
The headlamp time delay system is activated by
turning the headlamps ON (high or low beam) while
the engine is running, turning the ignition switch
OFF, and then turning the headlamp switch OFF
within 45 seconds. The system will not activate if
more than 45 seconds elapse between ignition switch
OFF and headlamp switch OFF. The BCM will allow
the headlamps to remain ON for 90 seconds (config-urable) before they automatically turn off (If the key
is in the ignition during the headlamp time delay
mode, then both the headlamps and park lamps
(including panel dimming) will be ON). Refer to the
Owner's Manual for more information.
If the headlamp switch is in the Auto Headlamp
Position, the headlamps are ON due to the night sig-
nal from the CMTC and the ignition switch is in any
position other than run/start, the BCM shall enter a
90 second (configurable) Auto Headlamps time delay
mode. If the key is in the ignition during the head-
lamp time delay mode, then both the headlamps and
park lamps (including panel dimming) will be ON. If
the key is not in the ignition, then only the head-
lamps will be ON. The BCM will allow the head-
lamps to remain ON for 90 seconds before they
automatically turn OFF. Refer to the Owner's Man-
ual for more information.
OPTICAL HORN/HIGH BEAMS
When the multi-function switch is pulled to the
first detent (optical horn) signal, the headlamps are
ON, key-in the ignition the BCM shall send a mes-
sage via PCI bus to the FCM to turn on the head-
lamps drivers to illuminate all four filaments (Low
and High beams). When the multi-function switch is
pulled to the second detent (high beam) signal and
the headlamps are ON, the BCM shall send a mes-
sage via PCI bus to the FCM to turn on the head-
lamps drivers. The High Beams are illuminated and
the Low Beams and Fog Lamps (if ON) are extin-
guished. If the headlamps were in the high beam
configuration when power was removed from the
headlamps, the headlamps will be configured as low
beam the next time they are activated.
WARNING
WARNING: EYE PROTECTION SHOULD BE USED
WHEN SERVICING GLASS COMPONENTS. PER-
SONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.

FOG LAMP
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FOG LAMP
When a vehicle experiences problems with the fog
lamp system, verify the condition of the battery con-
nections, fuses, charging system, fog lamp bulbs, wire
connectors, relay, high beam switch, and headlamp
switch. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
Each vehicle is equipped with various lamp assem-
blies. A good ground is necessary for proper lighting
operation. Grounding is provided by the lamp socket
when it comes in contact with the metal body, or
through a separate ground wire.
When changing lamp bulbs check the socket for
corrosion. If corrosion is present, clean it with a wire
brush.
When it is necessary to remove components to ser-
vice another, it should not be necessary to apply
excessive force or bend a component to remove it.
Before damaging a trim component, verify hidden
fasteners or captured edges are not holding the com-
ponent in place.
