The RR FOG LMP relay is supplied with B+ at all times from the RR FOG fuse located in the underhood fuse block. The rear fog lamp switch signal circuit is grounded momentarily by pressing the rear fog lamp switch. The body control module (BCM) energizes the RR FOG LMP relay by applying ground to the rear fog lamp relay control circuit. When the rear fog lamp relay is energized, the relay switch contacts close and B+ is applied through the RR FOG fuse to the rear fog lamp supply voltage circuit which illuminates the rear fog lamps.
Exterior Lighting Systems Description and Operation
Control Module References for scan tool information
Ignition ON, observe the scan tool rear fog lamp switch parameter while activating the rear fog lamp switch. The reading should toggle between ACTIVE and INACTIVE.
⇒ | If the reading does not change between the commanded states, refer to Rear Fog Lamp Switch Malfunction. |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 13 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
⇒ | If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
⇒ | 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 circuit tests normal, test or replace the RR FOG LMP relay. |
⇒ | 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 rear fog lamps do not activate, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the inoperative rear fog lamp. |
⇒ | 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 open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the indicator control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the indicator control circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
