Circuit/System Description
The rear fog lamp switch signal circuit is grounded through a resistor momentarily by pressing the rear fog lamp switch. The body control module (BCM) energises the rear fog lamp supply voltage circuit which illuminates the rear fog lamp.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• | The ignition is turned ON. |
• | Low beam is illuminated. |
• | Rear fog lamp switch activated. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
Rear Fog Lamp switch stuck.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The rear fog lamp is inoperative.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.

Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Rear Fog Lamp Switch parameter. The reading should change between Active/Inactive when changing between pressed and released rear fog lamp switch button.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 and X3 harness connectors at the K9 Body Control Module.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 0.3 V between the signal circuit terminal 9 X1 and ground.
⇒ | If greater than the specified value, test the circuits listed below for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the S30 Headlamp Switch. |
• | Signal circuit terminal 9 X1 |
• | 12 V reference voltage circuit terminal 4 X3 |
- Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 9 X1 and ground.
⇒ | If less than infinite resistance, test the circuits listed below for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the S30 Headlamp Switch. |
• | Signal circuit terminal 9 X1 |
• | 12 V reference voltage circuit terminal 4 X3 |
- Test for 7.4-7.9 kΩ between the signal circuit terminal 9 X1 and the 12 V reference voltage circuit terminal 4 X3.
⇒ | If less than 7.4 kΩ, test the signal circuit and the 12 V reference circuit for a short circuit. If the circuit tests normal, replace the S30 Headlamp Switch. |
⇒ | If greater than 7.9 kΩ, test the signal circuit and the 12 V reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the S30 Headlamp Switch. |
- Test for 2.0-2.4 kΩ between the signal circuit terminal 9 X1 and the 12 V reference voltage circuit terminal 4 X3 while pressing the rear fog lamp switch.
⇒ | If not the specified range, replace the S30 Headlamp Switch. |
- If all circuits test normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.
