Diagnostic Test
- CHECK FOR ACTIVE DTC B2371-HORN CONTROL CIRCUIT OVERCURRENT
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, record and erase DTC's
- Operate the Horn Switch several times.
- 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
- The conditions that caused this code to set are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
- VISUAL AND PHYSICAL CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL INSPECTION
- Turn the ignition off.
- 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.
- Disconnect the Horn connectors.
- Disconnect the C11 TIPM harness connector.
- 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
- Repair or replace as necessary.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Go to step 3
- (X21)/(X22) HORN CONTROL OUTPUT CIRCUIT HIGH RESISTANCE
- 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.
- 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
- Repair the excessive resistance in the Horn Control Output circuit.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
- CHECKING THE HORN AND (Z904) GROUND CIRCUIT
- (Z904) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN
- Disconnect the Horn(s) C2 connector(s).
- 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
- Replace the Horn(s) as necessary.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Repair the open or excessive resistance in the (Z904) Ground circuit.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
- TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NOTE: Before continuing, check the TIPM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.
- Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors.
- Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.
Were any problems found?
Yes
- Repair as necessary.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Replace the Totally Integrated Power Module in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
