Diagnostic Test

1. VERIFY DTC B2336-HORN CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW IS ACTIVE
With the scan tool, erase TIPM DTCs.
Operate the Horn Switch several times.
With the scan tool, read TIPM DTCs.

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- Check for an intermittent condition by inspecting the related wiring harness for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires. Also, inspect the related connectors for broken, bent, corroded, or contaminated terminals.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test

2. (X21)/(X22) HORN CONTROL OUTPUT CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND




Turn the ignition off
Disconnect the horn C1 connector(s).
Disconnect the C11 TIPM harness connector.
Measure the resistance between ground and the Horn Control Output circuit(s) at the horn C1 connector(s).
Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

Yes

- Repair the (X21)/(X22) Horn Control Output circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.Body Verification Test

No

- Go To 3

3. HORN




Connect the C11 TIPM harness connector.
Turn the ignition on, engine not running.
Using the scan tool under the TIPM Actuators, actuate the Horn.
With a 12-volt test light connected to ground, probe the Horn Control Output circuit at the Horn C1 connector(s).
Does the test light illuminate brightly and flash on and off?

Yes

- Replace the Horn(s) as necessary.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.Body Verification Test

No

- Go To 4
