Horn Relay Control Circuit | B2750 01 | -- | B2750 01 | -- |
Battery positive voltage is applied at all times to the horn relay coil and horn relay switch. Pressing the horn switch applies ground to the horn relay control circuit. The body control module (BCM) also may apply ground to the horn relay control circuit. When the horn relay control circuit is grounded, the horn relay is energized and battery positive voltage is applied to the horn via the horn control circuit. The horn will sound as long as ground is applied to the horn relay control circuit.
The BCM monitors the voltage level on the horn relay control circuit whenever the ignition is in the RUN position.
The BCM will set DTC B2750 as current whenever an improper voltage level is detected on the horn relay control circuit for more than 15 seconds.
The BCM will disable the driver for the horn relay control circuit whenever DTC B2750 is set as current.
DTC B2750 will clear when an improper voltage level is no longer detected on the horn relay control circuit, or when a scan tool is used to clear DTCs.
Inspect for a sticking horn pad or horn switch.
Horns System Description and Operation
⇒ | If the test fails to illuminate, test the horn relay control circuit for a short to voltage or an open. The horn relay control circuit includes the steering wheel coil assembly and horn switch. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the BCM. |
⇒ | If the test lamp remains illuminated at all times, test the horn relay control circuit for a short to ground. The horn relay control circuit includes the steering wheel coil assembly and horn switch. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the BCM. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
