413-06-1 Horn 413-06-1 DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Horn Special Tool(s) Fluke 77-IV Digital Multimeter FLU77-4 or equivalent Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) and Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) software with appropriate hardware, or equivalent scan tool Flex Probe Kit 300-NUD105-R025DE or equivalent Principles of Operation NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM). The SJB supplies the switched and control voltage to the horn relay (integrated into the SJB). When the horn switch (part of the driver air bag module) is pressed, ground is supplied to the SJB through the clockspring. The SJB then energizes the horn relay sending voltage to the horn, enabling the horn to sound. The SJB provides a momentary ground to the horn relay when the anti-theft system is armed, and an on then off ground when the panic button is pressed on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. Inspection and Verification 1. Verify the customer concern. 2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.
