2010 LX PZEV 4cyl sedan - horn beeps single intermittent alarm confirm when left locked
VIN# 1HGCP2F32AA173831 horn wiring diagram uploaded. This alarm is integrated into the MICU, only audible output is via the horn & hood latch has no sensor. So MICU alone can sound the horn even without clockspring invoking. Already checked /swapped the relay & fuse as well as performed parasitic draw test. No CEL, hard reset & removing all remote batteries also didn't help. Only one rear stop light is bad & awaiting 7443 bulb ordered online. Interestingly stop light power is connected to the horn circuit.
Likely causes both involve MICU:
- Battery drain causing low backup voltage causing legit chirps. But normal voltage is 12.6V & starting voltage never below 10V.
- Bad MICU that I don't want to replace & reprogram on a hunch.
- Install a LED switch on horn ground that I can turn off when exiting & turn back on after entering car. LED to remind me of current switch state. Horn will not confirm alarm lock & unlock but that's ok.
- Put a tap on an ignition powered fuse (eg: accessory/wiper/washer etc) to replace RED horn relay power source on nearby vacant relay slot along with YEL & GRN. Switch original 20A horn fuse on new line & replace it with 5A fuse for stop light alone.
