1. Front Fog Lamps Malfunction | ||||
Circuit/System Description
The front fog lamp relay and front fog lamps are grounded at G105 at all times. When the body control module (BCM) is momentarily grounded when the front fog lamp switch is turned to the ON position. Battery voltage is then supplied to the coil side of the front fog lamp relay. The relay contacts now close supplying the front fog lamps with battery voltage turning them ON.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B2532
When the BCM receives a front fog lamp switch ON command and the front fog lamp relay control circuit is shorted to ground.
B2533
When the BCM receives a front fog lamp switch OFF command and the front fog lamp relay control circuit is shorted to voltage.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The front fog lamps will not operate or will remain ON at all times.
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. |

Circuit/System Testing
Front Fog Lamp Relay Control Circuit Test
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the front fog lamp relay.
- Verify a test lamp illuminates between the relay coil ground circuit terminal 86 and B+.
- Connect a test lamp between the relay coil control circuit terminal 85 and the ground circuit terminal 86.
- Ignition ON, command the front fog lamps ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the front fog lamp relay.
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground 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.
