Circuit Description
The front fog lamp switch signal circuit is grounded momentarily by pressing the front fog lamp switch. The body control module (BCM) energizes the front fog lamp relay by applying battery positive voltage to the front fog lamps relay control circuit when the front fog lamp relay is energized, battery positive voltage is applied to the front fog lamps supply voltage circuit which illuminates the front fog lamps.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | DTC B2530 02 The front fog lamp relay control circuit is shorted to ground. |
| • | DTC B2530 05 The front fog lamp relay control circuit is shorted to battery positive voltage or open. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | DTC B2530 02 the front fog lamps will not operate. |
| • | DTC B2530 05 the front fog lamps and the fog lamp indicator will be on at all times or will not operate. |
The front fog lamps will not operate or will remain always on.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | This DTC will clear on current status after the condition for setting the fault is corrected. |
| • | A history DTC will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles without a fault present. |
| • | History and current DTCs can be cleared using a scan tool. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | The fog lamps will only illuminate under the following conditions: |
| - | The park lamps or low beam headlamps are ON. |
| - | The highbeam headlamps are OFF. |
| - | The fog lamp switch is the ON position. |
| • | If the DTC is a history DTC, the problem may be intermittent. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems. |
