Circuit/System Description
The front fog lamp relay 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 FOG LAMP fuse to the front fog lamp supply voltage circuit which illuminates the front fog lamps.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts. |
| • | Front fog lamps ON. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC B2530 00 will set when the BCM detects a short to voltage in the front fog lamp relay control circuit for 5 seconds or greater.
Actions Taken When the DTC Sets
When DTC B2530 00 is present, the front fog lamps will not operate when the park lamps are ON and the front fog lamp switch is active.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. |
| • | A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. |

Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the front FOG LAMP Relay.
- Connect a test lamp between the B+ circuit terminal 85 and the control circuit terminal 86.
- Command the front fog lamps ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the front FOG LAMP Relay.
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
