Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK FOR ACTIVE DTC B2371-HORN CONTROL CIRCUIT OVERCURRENT 
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. With the scan tool, record and erase DTC's
    3. Operate the Horn Switch several times.
    4. With the scan tool, read DTC's.

      Does the scan tool display active DTC B2371-HORN CONTROL CIRCUIT OVERCURRENT?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

  2. VISUAL AND PHYSICAL CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL INSPECTION 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Inspect the following connector terminal condition. Check for signs of corrosion build up or damage that would compromise the terminal to controller pin connector.
      NOTE: Make sure that all in-line connectors are inspected for corrosion and/or damage.
    3. Disconnect the Horn connectors.
    4. Disconnect the C11 TIPM harness connector.
    5. Visually inspect the wiring harness. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched or partially broken wires hidden in the wire insulation.

      Were any of the above conditions found?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  3
  3. (X21)/(X22) HORN CONTROL OUTPUT CIRCUIT HIGH RESISTANCE

    1. With a jumper wire, connect one end to the (X21) Horn Control Output circuit at the Horn C1 connector and the other to a clean chassis ground.
    2. Using a 12-volt test light to battery voltage, probe the (X21) Control Output circuit in the C11 TIPM harness connector.
      NOTE: If this is an export vehicle, follow the previous steps for the (X22) Horn Control Circuit also.
      NOTE: The test light should be illuminated and bright. Compared the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  4

      No 

  4. CHECKING THE HORN AND (Z904) GROUND CIRCUIT 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Horn(s) C1 connector(s) if not disconnected.
    3. Momentarily jumper 12-volts to the horn(s).

      Did the horn(s) operate properly?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  6

      No 

      • Go to step  5
  5. (Z904) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN

    1. Disconnect the Horn(s) C2 connector(s).
    2. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, probe the (Z904) ground circuit at the C2 connector(s).

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      No 

  6. TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE 
    NOTE: Before continuing, check the TIPM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.
    1. Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors.
    2. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.

      Were any problems found?

      Yes 

      No
