Principles of Operation

Note. The smart junction box (SJB) is also known as the generic electronic module (GEM).

The battery junction box (BJB) supplies the control and switched voltage to the horn relay (part of the SJB). When the horn switches are pressed, ground is supplied through the clockspring to the horn relay. The horn relay is then energized, directing voltage to the horn. When the perimeter anti-theft system is armed, the SJB provides a momentary ground to the horn relay control side to indicate the system is armed, and an on and off ground when an intrusion is detected or the panic feature is activated.

Normal Operation

The battery junction box (BJB) supplies the switched and control voltage to the horn relay (part of the smart junction box [SJB]) through circuit SBB02 (YE/RD). When the horn switches (part of the steering wheel) are pressed, the horn relay is grounded through the horn switch circuitry, energizing the horn relay. The horn relay then sends voltage to the horn through circuit CBP05 (YE), sounding the horn. Ground for the horn is supplied through circuit GD123 (BK/GY).

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following

  1. Fuse
  2. Wiring, terminals or connectors
  3. Horn
  4. Clockspring
  5. Horn switches (part of the steering wheel)
  6. SJB
CAUTIONUse the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
