Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    1. With the scan tool, read Body Control Module (BCM) DTCs and record on the repair order.
    2. Record the Environmental Data.
    3. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
    4. Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
    5. With the scan tool, read BCM DTCs.

      Did the DTC return?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2

      No 

  2. CHECK THE HORN RELAY 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Remove the Horn Relay from the Power Distribution Center (PDC) Assembly and substitute it with a known good relay.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Press the Horn switch.
    5. With the scan tool, read BCM DTCs.

      Is the DTC active?

      Yes

      No 

  3. CHECK THE (X4) HORN RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Remove the Horn Relay from the PDC Assembly.
    3. Disconnect the BCM C8/H harness connector.
    4. Turn the ignition on.
    5. Measure the voltage on the (X4) Horn Relay Control circuit at the BCM C8/H harness connector.

      Is there any voltage present?

      Yes 

      • Repair the short to voltage on the (X4) Horn Relay Control circuit.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .

      • Corrosion.
      • Other signs of water intrusion.
      • Weather seal damage (if equipped).
      • Bent terminals.
      • Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
      • Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
      • Perform a terminal drag test on each connector terminal to verify proper terminal tension.

      Repair any conditions that are found.

    5. Reconnect all BCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    6. Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
