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 front fog lamp fuse to the front fog lamp supply voltage circuit which illuminates the front fog lamps.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Front fog lamps activated

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The BCM detects a short to voltage on the control circuit.

Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON, perform the Front Fog Lamps test. The front fog lamps should be ON/OFF.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the X50A Fuse Block - Underhood.
2. Connect a test lamp between B+ and the control circuit terminal 46 X2.
3. Ignition ON, push the Front Fog Lamps switch. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
⇒ If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
⇒ 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 K9 Body Control Module.
4. If all circuits test normal, replace the X50A Fuse Block - Underhood.

Repair Instructions
