DTC Descriptor

DTC B2740 00

-
Front Fog Lamp Switch Circuit Malfunction

Diagnostic Fault Information






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

* The ignition is turned ON.

* Front fog lamp switch activated.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The front fog lamps malfunction.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The front fog lamp switch is stuck on for more than 60 seconds.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The condition for setting the DTC is not longer present.

Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Front Fog Lamps Switch parameter while pressing and releasing the front fog lamps switch. The parameter should change between Active and Inactive when changing between the selected states.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S30 headlamp switch.

2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the 12 V reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.

If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the 12 V reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the circuit fuse is open, test the signal circuit terminal 12 for a short to ground.

3. Verify the scan tool Front Fog Lamps Switch parameter is Inactive.

If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 12 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.

4. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 12 and the 12 V reference circuit terminal 1. Verify the scan tool Front Fog Lamps Switch parameter is Active.

If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.

5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the S30 headlamp switch.
