Vehicle Horn Does Not Sound

HORN: HORN SYSTEM: Vehicle Horn does not Sound

Vehicle Horn does not Sound

DESCRIPTION

When the steering pad (horn button) is pressed, a signal is sent from the steering pad through the steering pad switch with modulator (steering pad ECU) to the spiral cable. The spiral cable and front controller communicate via the CAN line. The front controller receives the signal and sends it to the vehicle horns, causing the horns to sound.
