When the rear fog lamp switch is placed in the ON position, ground is applied to the auxiliary body control module (XBCM) through the rear fog lamp switch circuit. The XBCM then applies voltage on the trailer fog lamp circuit to the trailer rear fog lamp.
The ignition is ON. Park lamps must be ON and the rear fog lamps must be commanded ON.
The body control module (BCM) detects an open, short to ground, or short to voltage on the trailer rear fog lamp circuit while trying to apply a voltage to the circuit.
The trailer rear fog lamps do not illuminate.
• | The conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present. |
• | A history DTC clears after 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles. |
• | The BCM receives the clear code command from the scan tool. |
Ignition ON, activate with a scan tool the Trailer Fog Lamps output control for the auxiliary body control module (XBCM). The Rear Fog Lamp Relay Cmd. data parameter should display ON and the trailer rear fog lamps should illuminate.
⇒ | If the bulb is inoperable, replace the bulb. |
⇒ | If all circuits/connections test normal, replace the XBCM. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
