1. Fog Lamp Malfunction 2. Fog Lamp Switch Malfunction |
The front fog lamp relay coil is supplied with battery voltage when the ignition is in the RUN or CRANK position. The front fog lamp relay switch is supplied with battery voltage at all times. 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 ground to the front fog lamp relay control circuit. When the front fog lamp relay is energized, the relay switch contacts close and battery voltage is applied through the FRONT FOG fuse to the front fog lamp control circuit which illuminates the front fog lamps.
The battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.
• | When the BCM receives a front fog lamp switch OFF command and the front fog lamp relay control circuit is shorted to ground or has an open/high resistance. |
• | When the BCM receives a front fog lamp switch ON command and the front fog lamp relay control circuit is shorted to voltage. |
The front fog lamps will be inoperative or always ON.
• | 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. |

⇒ | If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, and the B+ circuit fuse is open, test the control circuit terminal 87 for a short to ground. |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
