Circuit/System Description
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.
Conditions for Running the DTC
This DTC can set only when the output is actively being requested by the BCM.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The BCM detects a short to voltage in the horn relay control circuit for approximately 125 milliseconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The BCM disables the output to the horn relay until the next ignition cycle.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | 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/System Verification
Ignition ON, use the scan tool horn output control to command the horn relay On and OFF while listening for an audible click.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the C2 harness connector at the underhood fuse block.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal K3 and battery voltage.
- Press and release the horn switch. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the underhood fuse block.
| ⇒ | 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. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
