Normal Operation
The vehicle security module receives voltage on circuit 195 (TN/WH). When the remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter PANIC button is pressed, the vehicle security module grounds the horn relay which supplies voltage to circuit 1 (DB) to activate the horn. The vehicle security module also grounds the turn signal lamp relay which supplies voltage to circuit 14 (BN) to activate the turn signal lamps.

Possible Causes
- circuit 1 (DB) open
- circuit 14 (BN) open
- circuit 195 (TN/WH) open
- RKE transmitter
- vehicle security module
