Hello. My car has been acting weird for a few months. 90% of the time when I turn on the car, the horn would automatically honk 3 times. It will honk once, then 3 seconds later it would honk twice. At first I thought it had something to do with my dash cam because it's something new that I did to the car (only plugged into cigarette lighter). However, after testing it a few times, the honk is still there even when the dash cam is not plugged into the cigarette lighter.

Edit: I just remember that this started after I Ktuned the car with stage 1.

Please help as I don't know what's causing it. It's rather embarrassing whenever I start the car, it would honk 3 times making everyone around the car thinking they're being honked at.

I've never heard of this happening. I certainly can't imagine it's KTuner related though.

The good news is that because our horn is so weak, nobody probably even notices the honking. ;)

This comes from the Body Control Module. Maybe a reset by disconnecting the battery would help.

So after I took the tune off, the honk never came back!
