1. Front Fog Lamps Malfunction | ||||
Circuit/System Description
When the front fog lamp switch is placed in the ON position, ground is applied through the front fog lamp switch signal circuit at G300 to the body control module (BCM). The BCM applies battery voltage through the front fog lamp relay control circuit to the coil side of the front fog lamp relay. Battery voltage is applied at all times from the FOG LAMP fuse to the switch side of the front fog lamp relay. When the relay coil is energized, the relay switch contacts close and allow battery voltage to be applied from the FOG LAMP fuse, through the relay switch contacts, to the front fog lamps. Ground for the front fog lamps is applied at all times at G101 for the left front fog lamp and G102 for the right front fog lamp. G102 also serves as ground for the coil side of the front fog lamp relay.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B2530 02
This DTC will set when the BCM detects a short to ground in the front fog lamp relay control circuit.
B2530 05
This DTC will set when the BCM detects a short to voltage or an open in the front fog lamp relay control circuit.
Actions Taken When the DTC Sets
B2530 02
When this DTC is present, the front fog lamps will not operate when the park lamps are ON and the front fog lamp switch is active.
B2530 05
When this DTC is present, the front fog lamps and/or the front fog lamp indicator will be ON at all times or will not operate.
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.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 85 and ground.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 86 and ground.
- 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 greater than the specified range, 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 open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
