Horn Operation
The
horn switch consists of 2 sets of contacts separated by springs. The
lower set is connected to ground and the upper set is connected to the
horn signal circuit. When the driver airbag is pressed, it pushes down
on the upper set of contacts, collapsing the springs and allowing the
contacts to touch. When the contacts touch, it completes the circuit and
provides the ground signal, which is routed through the clockspring to
the SCCM and BCM. The BCM grounds the horn relay coil to energize the integrated relay in the BJB. When energized, the horn relay provides voltage to the horn, enabling the horn to sound.
