Normal Operation
Once the panic feature is activated, the vehicle security module (VSM) supplies ground to circuit 1 (DB), energizing the horn relay. The horn relay then supplies voltage to circuit 6 (YE/LG), activating the horn. The VSM also supplies voltage to circuit 14 (BN) to activate the parking lamps.

- Circuit 1 (DB) open
- Circuit 14 (BN) open
- Circuit 195 (TN/WH) open
- Remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter
