B2753

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The vehicle horns are activated whenever ground is applied to the horn relay coil through the horn relay control circuit. Ground may be applied by either of the following:
^ Body control module (BCM)
^ Horn switch

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
^ The body control system voltage must be between 9.0 and 16.0 volts.
^ The BCM is commanding the horn relay to energize or the horn switch is pressed.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The BCM detects a short to voltage in the horn relay control circuit for approximately 500 milliseconds.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The horns are inoperative from the BCM and the horn switch.
^ The BCM stores DTC B2753 in memory.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
^ A current DTC will clear when the fault is no longer present and the ignition switch is cycled.
^ A history DTC will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles without a fault present.
^ A scan tool may be used to clear history and current DTC(s).

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
^ Always begin diagnosis with the first DTC listed on the scan tool.
^ The scan tool must display DTC B2753 as a current code before performing these diagnostics.

TEST DESCRIPTION

Steps 1-6:

Steps 7-13:

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
2. Listen for an audible click when the horn relay operates. Command both the ON and OFF states. Repeat the commands as necessary.
3. Tests for voltage at the coil side of the horn relay. The HORN fuse supplies power to the coil side of the horn relay.
4. Verifies that the Body Control Module (BCM) is providing ground to the horn relay.
5. Tests if ground is constantly being applied to the horn relay.
