Yes For vehicles with halogen fog lamps, INSTALL a new for lamp bulb. Fog Lamp Bulb For vehicles with LED fog lamps, INSTALL a new fog lamp assembly. Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) . No REPAIR the circuit. - For vehicles with halogen fog lamps, measure:
- F4 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM OPERATION
- Disconnect and inspect all BCM connectors.
- Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
- Reconnect the BCM connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
Yes CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSBs. If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, BCM Hardware Testing . No The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
