CHECK FOR ACTIVE DTC B2338-HORN CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, record and erase DTCs.
3. Operate the Horn switch several times.
4. With the scan tool, read DTCs.
  Does the scan tool display active DTC B2338-HORN CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 2
  No
  - Test complete, the condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals, and correct pin tension.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
