VTSS Test 4A - Horn Circuits
NOTE:
Perform VTSS TEST 1A
before proceeding with this test. For connector terminal identification, refer to CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION
. For wiring diagrams, refer to WIRING DIAGRAMS
. Perform, after each repair, TEST VER-1A - VERIFICATION PROCEDURE
.
CAUTION:
Always turn ignition switch to OFF position prior to disconnecting or connecting any module connector.
- Depress horn button on steering wheel. If horn sounds, go to next step. If horn does not sound, go to step 4).
- Using scan tool, read trunk key cylinder switch status. If scan tool displays SWITCH: CLOSED, go to next step. If scan tool does not display SWITCH: CLOSED, go to VTSS TEST 4C .
- Turn ignition off. Remove Body Control Module (BCM) from junction block and ensure connectors are clean and not damaged. Using external voltmeter, measure voltage between ground and terminal No. 7 on junction block internal 12-pin connector. See Figure in CHIME TEST 3A. If voltage is 10 volts or less, replace junction block. If voltage is greater than 10 volts, replace BCM.
- Remove horn relay located in junction block. See Figure in CHIME TEST 3A. Using external voltmeter, measure voltage between ground and terminal No. 8 on horn relay socket. If voltage is greater than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is less than 10 volts, go to VTSS TEST 4B .
- Using external voltmeter, measure voltage between ground and terminal No. 6 on horn relay socket. See Figure in CHIME TEST 3A. If voltage is greater than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is 10 volts or less, replace junction block.
- Connect a jumper wire between terminals No. 8 and 10 on horn relay socket. See Figure in CHIME TEST 3A. If horns sound, go to next step. If horns do not sound, repair open in Dark Green/Pink wire between junction block and horn(s).
- Turn ignition off. Remove Body Control Module (BCM) from junction block and ensure connector is clean and not damaged. Using external ohmmeter, measure resistance between terminal No. 7 on BCM 12-pin connector and terminal No. 7 on horn relay socket. See Figure in CHIME TEST 3A. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, reinstall horn relay and go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or greater, replace junction block.
- Using external voltmeter, measure voltage between ground and terminal No. 7 on junction block internal 12-pin connector. If voltage is 10 volts or less, replace horn relay. If voltage is greater than 10 volts, replace BCM.
