- Front Fog Lamps Control Circuit High

Diagnostic Fault Information





Circuit/System Description

When the body control module (BCM) senses that the front fog lamp switch signal circuit is grounded momentarily by pressing the front fog lamp switch, the BCM energizes the front fog lamp relay by applying battery voltage to the front fog lamp relay control circuit.

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 always on.

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 Verification

Ignition ON, operate the front fog lamp switch on and off and verify that the front fog lamps turn on and off.

If the front fog lamps do not turn on or remain always on perform the Front Fog Lamp Relay Control Circuit Test.

Circuit/System Testing

Front Fog Lamp Relay Control Circuit Test
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the front fog lamp relay.
2. Verify that a test lamp illuminates when connected from battery voltage to the relay coil ground circuit terminal 86.

• If the test lamp does not illuminate test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Connect a test lamp between the relay coil control circuit terminal 85 and the ground circuit terminal 86.
4. Ignition ON, operate the front fog lamp switch on and off and verify that the test lamp turns on and off.

• 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.

5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the relay.

Repair Instructions
