Circuit/System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 GMC Acadia, 2016 Chevrolet Traverse, and 2016 Buick Enclave. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The body control module (BCM) controls the fog lamps based on inputs from the fog lamp switch. When the fog lamp switch is pressed, a ground path is provided on the front fog lamp switch signal circuit to the BCM, indicating the front fog lamps ON command. In response to this signal, the BCM grounds the fog lamp relay control circuit energizing the FOG LAMP Relay. With the fog lamp relay energized, battery voltage is applied through the FOG LAMPS Fuse and the fog lamp control circuits illuminating the front fog lamps.

When a fog lamp request is seen by the BCM, a serial data message is sent to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) requesting the fog lamp indicator be illuminated.
