Circuit/System Verification
Command the horn ON and OFF with the scan tool. The horn should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X4 harness connector at the underhood fuse block.
2. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal G1 and B+.
3. Press and release the horn switch. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
瀚慖f 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.
瀚慖f the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage, an open high resistance, or a horn switch which is not closing.
If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
4. If all circuits test normal, replace the underhood fuse block.
