Front Fog Lamps

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The front fog lamps have a path to ground at all times through their connection to the headlamp and dash wire harness. The engine compartment wire harness has takeouts with eyelet terminals that are secured by screws to the front end sheet metal within the engine compartment. The BCM monitors a hard wired input from the fog lamp switch in the lower instrument panel switch pod to determine whether the front fog lamps are selected. If the front fog lamps are selected and the left (lighting) multi-function switch inputs indicate the headlamp low beams are ON, the BCM energizes a high side driver, which provides battery voltage to the front fog lamps through the right and left front fog lamp feed circuits.

The BCM also sends the appropriate electronic messages to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) over the CAN data bus to illuminate or extinguish the front fog lamp indicator. The BCM will automatically de-energize the front fog lamps any time the headlamps are turned OFF or the headlamp high beams are selected.

Each front fog lamp includes an integral adjustment screw to be used for static aiming of the fog lamp beams.
