FRONT FOG LAMP


System Description

The front fog lamps are activated with the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch). The combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) signal to the BCM is monitored with the BCM combination switch reading function. When the fog lamps are turned ON with the combination switch (lighting and turn signal 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.

FRONT FOG LAMP OPERATION
When the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) is in front fog lamp ON position and also in 1ST or 2ND position or AUTO (if equipped) position (headlamp is ON), the BCM detects FR FOG ON and the
HEAD LAMP1 or 2 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.
