1. Horns Always ON 2. Horns Inoperative |
The body control module (BCM) controls the horn relay by grounding the control circuit of the horn relay coil energizing the relay. When the horn relay is energized, the horn relay contacts close applying voltage through the horn fuse and the horn control circuit to the horns.
The DTC can only set only when the output is actively being requested by the BCM.
The BCM detects a short to ground, open, or short to voltage in the horn relay control circuit for approximately 125 milliseconds.
The BCM disables the output to the horn relay until the next ignition cycle.
• | The DTC clears when the fault is no longer detected. |
• | The current DTC will become history when the request for the output is removed. |
• | The history DTC will clear after 50 consecutive fault-free ignition cycles have occurred. |
• | Circuit Testing |
• | Wiring Repairs |
Ignition ON, use scan tool Horn output control to command the horn relay On. The Horn Relay Command output data parameter should display On and the horn should sound.
⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground or a sticking horn switch. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance, or a horn switch which is not closing. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
