Fog/Driving Lamp: Description and Operation

FRONT FOG LAMP

System Diagram






System Description
The front fog lamps are activated with the lighting switch (combination switch). The lighting switch signal to the BCM is monitored with the BCM combination switch reading function. When the fog lamps are turned ON with the lighting switch, the BCM sends a front fog lamp request signal via CAN communication lines to the IPDM E/R. The IPDM E/R grounds the front fog lamp relay coil to activate the front fog lamps.

Component Description

FRONT FOG LAMP OPERATION
When the lighting switch is in front fog lamp ON position and also in 1ST or 2ND position or AUTO position (headlamp is ON), the BCM detects FR FOG ON and the HEAD LAMP1, 2 ON or the AUTO LIGHT ON. The BCM sends a front fog lamp request ON signal via the CAN communication lines to the IPDM E/R. The IPDM E/R then turns ON the front fog lamp relay sending power to the front fog lamps.
