Front Fog Lamps Malfunction

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the front fog lamp relay.
  2. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp does not illuminate between the control circuit terminal 87 and ground.
    • If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage.
  3. Verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 30 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  4. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 86 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  5. Disconnect the harness connector at the inoperative front fog lamp.
  6. Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  7. Connect the harness connector at the inoperative front fog lamp.
  8. Connect a 15A fused jumper wire between the B+ circuit terminal 30 and the control circuit terminal 87. Verify the front fog lamps illuminate.
    • If the front fog lamps do not illuminate, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the inoperative front fog lamp.
  9. Connect a test lamp between the B+ circuit terminal 86 and the control circuit terminal 85.
  10. Command the front fog lamps ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
    • If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  11. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the front fog lamp relay.
