Pinpoint Test F: The Anti-Theft Alarm Horn Is Always On
Normal Operation
The Body Control Module (BCM) receives voltage for the anti-theft alarm horn from the Battery Junction Box (BJB) fuse 6 (30A). When the perimeter alarm is activated, the BCM (Body Control Module) cycles voltage on and off to the horn causing the anti-theft horn output to cycle in conjunction with the turn signals flashing. The horn is case grounded.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- BCM (Body Control Module)
PINPOINT TEST F : THE ANTI-THEFT ALARM HORN IS ALWAYS ON
F1 ISOLATE THE SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: BCM (Body Control Module) C2280C.
- Ignition ON.
Does the anti-theft alarm horn continue to sound?
Yes
REPAIR circuit CRT02 (GY/VT) for a short to voltage. TEST the system for normal operation.
No
GO to F2.
F2 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM (Body Control Module) OPERATION
- Disconnect all the BCM (Body Control Module) connectors.
- Check for:
- corrosion
- damaged pins
- pushed-out pins
- Connect all the BCM (Body Control Module) connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
Yes
INSTALL a new BCM (Body Control Module). TEST the system for normal operation.
No
The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
