1	Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle?	Go to Step 2	Go to DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - VEHICLE
2	Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Turn the headlamp switch to the PARK position. Turn the fog lamps to the ON position. Do both fog lamps illuminate?	Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections	Go to Step 3
3	Using a scan tool, command the fog lamps ON. Do the fog lamps illuminate?	Go to Step 6	Go to Step 4
4	Disconnect the FOGLP fuse. Probe the switch side of the fog lps relay with a test lamp that is connected to a good ground. Does the test lamp illuminate?	Go to Step 8	Go to Step 11
5	Using a scan tool, observe the Fog Lamp Switch Data parameter while pressing the fog lamp switch. Does the scan tool display active when pressing the switch and inactive when you release the switch?	Go to Step 12	Go to Step 6
6	Disconnect the fog lamp switch. Observe the Fog Lamp Switch Data parameter. Does the scan tool display inactive?	Go to Step 7	Go to Step 9
7	Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the fog lamp switch signal circuit of the fog lamp switch and a good ground. Observe the Fog Lamp Switch Data parameter. Does the scan tool display active?	Go to Step 13	Go to Step 10
8	Test for the following in the fog lamp voltage supply circuit: An open A high resistance A short to ground Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 17	Go to Step 11
9	Test the fog lamp switch signal circuit for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 17	Go to Step 12
10	Test the fog lamp switch signal circuit for an open or high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 17	Go to Step 12
11	Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the underhood fuse block. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 17	Go to Step 16
12	Inspect for poor connections at the body control module (BCM). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 17	Go to Step 14
13	Inspect for poor connections at the fog lamp switch. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 17	Go to Step 15
14	Replace the BCM. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement?	Go to Step 17	-
15	Replace the fog lamp switch. Did you complete the replacement?	Go to Step 17	-
16	Replace the underhood fuse block. Refer to Underhood Electrical Center or Junction Block Bracket Replacement . Did you complete the replacement?	Go to Step 17	-
17	Operate the system in order to verify the repair. Did you correct the condition?	System OK	Go to Step 2
