DTC Descriptors

DTC B2750
- Horn Relay Secondary Circuit

For symptom byte information refer to: Symptom Byte List Symptom Byte List

Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The Body Control Module provides a ground for the Horn printed circuit board relay within the underhood fuse block. The underhood fuse block will then provide B+ voltage to the horn control circuit, sounding the horn.

Conditions for Running the DTC

When the horn output is actively being requested by the Body Control Module.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B2750 01

The Body Control Module detects a short to voltage in the horn relay control circuit.

B2750 02

The Body Control Module detects a short to ground in the horn relay control circuit.

B2750 04

The Body Control Module detects an open/high resistance in the horn relay control circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The Body Control Module will command the horn when requested but the horn will be inoperative.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The DTC clears when the fault is no longer detected.

* The current DTC will become history when the request for the output is removed.

* The history DTC will clear after 50 consecutive fault-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition ON.

2. Verify the operation of the P12 Horn when commanding the Horn Relay On and Off with a scan tool.

• If the P12 Horn is always ON or always OFF
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.

• If the P12 Horn turns ON and OFF

3. All OK.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the X50A Fuse Block-Underhood, ignition ON.

2. Verify the P12 Horn is not activated.

• If the P12 Horn is activated

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the P12 Horn, ignition ON.

2. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit terminal 2 and ground.

• If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

• If less than 1 V, test or replace the P12 Horn.

• If the P12 Horn is not activated

3. Connect a 15A fused jumper wire between the control circuit terminal 9 and B+.

4. Verify the P12 Horn activates.

• If the P12 Horn does not activate

1. Ignition OFF, remove the jumper wire, disconnect the harness connector at the P12 Horn, ignition ON.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit and ground.

• If less than Infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.

• If infinite resistance

3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the control circuit end to end.

• If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

• If less than 2 ohms, test or replace the P12 Horn.

• If the P12 Horn activates

5. Ignition OFF, connect the X1 harness connector at the X50A Fuse Block-Underhood. Disconnect the X5 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module, ignition ON.

6. Verify the P12 Horn is not activated.

• If the P12 Horn is activated

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the X50A Fuse Block-Underhood.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit terminal 19 X5 at the K9 Body Control Module and ground.

• If less than Infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.

• If infinite resistance, test or replace the X50A Fuse Block-Underhood.

• If the P12 Horn is not activated

7. Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the control circuit terminal 19 and ground.

8. Verify the P12 Horn activates.

• If the P12 Horn does not activate

1. Ignition OFF, remove the jumper wire, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the X50A Fuse Block-Underhood, ignition ON.

2. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit terminal 19 X5 at the K9 Body Control Module and ground.

• If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

• If less than 1 V

3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the control circuit end to end.

• If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

• If less than 2 ohms, test or replace the X50A Fuse Block-Underhood.

• If the P12 Horn activates

9. Replace the K9 Body Control Module.
