Pinpoint Test V: The Fog Lamps Are On Continuously
Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 86, Fog Lamps for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number
Normal Operation
The Smart Junction Box (SJB) sends a voltage signal to the headlamp switch to monitor the fog lamp request. When the fog lamp switch is engaged, the voltage signal is routed to ground. When the SJB detects the fog lamps on request, the SJB energizes the fog lamp relay (integrated into the SJB).
When the fog lamp relay is energized on vehicles without the automatic high beam feature, voltage is routed to the fog lamps.
When the fog lamp relay is energized on vehicles with the automatic high beam feature, voltage is routed to the fog lamps deactivation relay (located in the Battery Junction Box (BJB)). When the high beams are not on, voltage passes through the relay to the fog lamps.
- DTC B2254 (Front Fog Lamp Switch Failure) - an on-demand DTC that sets when the SJB detects a short to ground from the fog lamp on input circuit.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Headlamp switch
- SJB
PINPOINT TEST V: THE FOG LAMPS ARE ON CONTINUOUSLY
NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
-------------------------------------------------
V1 CHECK FOR RECORDED SJB DTCs
- Check the recorded results from the SJB self-test.
- Is DTC B2254 present?
Yes
GO to V2.
No
GO to V4.
-------------------------------------------------
V2 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE HEADLAMP SWITCH
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Headlamp Switch C205.
- Ignition ON.
- Measure the voltage between the headlamp switch C205-6, circuit CLF18 (BU/WH), harness side and ground.
- Is the voltage grater than 10 volts?
Yes
INSTALL a new headlamp switch. REFER to Headlamp Switch Service and Repair. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
No
GO to V3.
-------------------------------------------------
V3 CHECK THE FOG LAMPS REQUEST INPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: SJB C2280b.
- Measure the resistance between the headlamp switch C205-6, circuit CLF18 (BU/WH), harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
Yes
GO to V6.
No
REPAIR circuit CLF18 (BU/WH) for a short to ground. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
-------------------------------------------------
V4 CHECK THE SJB OUTPUT
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: SJB C2280e.
- Ignition ON.
- Do the fog lamps continue to illuminate?
Yes
On vehicles not equipped with the automatic high beam feature, REPAIR circuit CLF12 (BN/YE) for a short to voltage. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
On vehicles equipped with the automatic high beam feature, GO to V5.
No
GO to V6.
-------------------------------------------------
V5 CHECK THE FOG LAMPS VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: Fog Lamps Deactivation Relay.
- Ignition ON.
- Do the fog lamps continue to illuminate?
Yes
REPAIR circuit CLF12 (BN/YE) for a short to voltage. TEST the system for normal operation.
No
REPAIR circuit CLF28 (BN/WH) for a short to voltage. TEST the system for normal operation.
-------------------------------------------------
V6 CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB OPERATION
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect all the SJB connectors.
- Check for:
- corrosion
- damaged pins
- pushed-out pins
- Connect all the SJB connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?
Yes
INSTALL a new SJB. REFER to Body Control Systems. TEST the system for normal operation.
No
The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR any DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
