WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2012 GMC Yukon XL, 2012 GMC Yukon, 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2012 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Horn
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate horn.
- Install a 15 A fused jumper wire between the control terminal B and 12 V. Install a jumper wire between the ground terminal A and ground. Verify the horn emits a clear and even tone.
- If the sound emitted is not clear and even, test or replace the horn.
Relay Test
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the HORN relay.
- Test for 60-180 Ω between terminals 85 and 86.
- If not within the specified range, replace the relay.
- Test for infinite resistance between the following terminals:
- 30 and 86
- 30 and 87
- 30 and 85
- 85 and 87
- If not the specified value, replace the relay.
- Install a 30 A fused jumper wire between relay terminal 85 and 12 V. Install a jumper wire between relay terminal 86 and ground. Test for less than 2 ohms between terminals 30 and 87.
- If greater than the specified range, replace the relay.
