DTC B3588

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.

Rear Fog Lamp switch stuck.

The rear fog lamp is inoperative.

The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.

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.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 and X3 harness connector at the K9 Body Control Module.
2. Ignition ON, test for less than 0.3 V at the K9 Body Control Module signal circuit harness connector X1 terminal 9 and ground.

⇒	If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for an short to voltage.

3. Test for less than 0.3 V at the K9 Body Control Module 12 V reference circuit harness connector X3 terminal 4 and ground.

⇒	If greater than the specified value, test the 12 V reference circuit for a short to voltage.

4. Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the K9 Body Control Module signal circuit harness connector X1 terminal 9 and ground.

⇒	If lower than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground.

5. Test for infinite resistance between the K9 Body Control Module 12 V reference circuit harness connector X3 terminal 4 and ground.

⇒	If lower than the specified value, test the 12 V reference circuit for a short to ground.

6. Press and hold the front fog lamp switch button.
7. Test for 100-200 Ω between the K9 Body Control Module 12 V reference circuit harness connector X3 terminal 4 and the K9 Body Control Module signal circuit harness connector X1 terminal 9.

⇒	If not within the specified range, test the 12 V reference circuit and the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal replace the S30 Headlamp Switch

8. If all circuits test normal, replace the K9 Body Control Module.

Static Test

Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S30 Headlamp Switch. Press and hold the rear fog lamp switch button, test for 100-200 Ω at the S30 Headlamp Switch terminal 1 and terminal 12.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
