2002 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY fog light

BODY CONTROL UNIT
86-3-30 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Fog lamps
The BCU operates the rear fog lamps and the front fog lamps (where fitted) via the IDM. The BCU front fog lamp
operation can be programmed to operate under one of three set conditions. The BCU will ensure the logical conditions
are satisfied for the lamps to operate under the set conditions.
Front fog lamps
Front fog lamp operation is monitored by the BCU, which allows only the front fog lamps to operate when the side
lamps or headlamps are on. When the side lamps, headlamps or ignition switch is turned off, the BCU also switches
off the fog lamps. When the side or headlamps are switched on again, the front fog lamps will remain off unless the
front fog lamp switch is pressed to resume operation. If the rear fog guard lamps are selected on, switching off the
front fog lamps will also switch off the rear fog guard lamps.
When the fog lamp switch is operated, an earth path is completed and the BCU allows the fog lights to be switched
on providing the logical preconditions have been satisfied. The BCU then supplies a voltage supply to the fog lamp
relay, to illuminate the fog lamps.
The front fog lamps option can be programmed in one of three states dependent on market/ customer requirements,
these are:
lOption 1– not fitted.
lOption 2 – main beam no effect.
lOption 3 – off with main beam.
The BCU checks the status of the following inputs to determine the logic action for providing an output to the front fog
lamp relay:
lIgnition state.
lMain beam state.
lSide lamps.
lDipped beam.
lFront fogs selected (press button, not latched).
If the ignition state is crank the state of the front fog relay is memorised and the relay is switched off. Pressing the
front fog switch during cranking will not be recognised. When the ignition state returns to Ignition after cranking, the
memorised front fog relay state is restored. If the ignition is turned off, the front fog relay is turned off.
For option 3 configuration, if the main beam is turned on the state of the front fog relay is memorised and the relay is
switched off. Pressing the front fog switch while main beam is on will not be recognised. When the Main beam state
returns to OFF, the memorised front fog relay state is restored.
In the event of a communications link failure while the front fog relay is on, the front fog relay will be switched off.
Rear fog lamps
The rear fog lamps operation is monitored by the BCU, which only allows the rear fog lamps to operate when the side
lamps or the headlamps are on. When the side lamps, headlamps or ignition is switched off, the rear fog lamps are
also switched off. When the side lamps or headlamps are switched on again, the rear fog lamps will not switch on
again unless reselected by operating the rear fog lamps switch. If front fog lamps are fitted, the rear fog lamps will be
switched off if the front fog lamps are switched off.
A supply voltage to the rear fog lamps relay is provided from a fuse in the passenger compartment fuse box, then
through two electronic switches in the IDM. With the lighting switch in the side lamp or headlamp position, an earth
path from the coil of the rear fog lamps relay completes the circuit through the two switches in the IDM to switch the
rear fog lamps on when the BCU receives a request signal from the rear fog lamps switch to turn the circuit on.

BODY CONTROL UNIT
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 86-3-31
The BCU checks the status of the following inputs to determine the logic action for providing an output to the rear fog
lamp relay:
lIgnition state.
lMain beam state.
lDipped beam.
lFront fogs relay.
lRear fogs selected (press button, not latched).
If the ignition state is crank the state of the rear fog relay is memorised and the relay is switched off. Pressing the front
fog switch during cranking will not be recognised. When the ignition state returns to Ignition after cranking, the
memorised rear fog relay state is restored. If the ignition is turned off, the rear fog relay is turned off.
In the event of a communications link failure occurring while the rear fog relay is on, the rear fog relay will remain on
until the ignition is turned off or the dipped/ main beam is turned off.
Interior courtesy lamps
To determine when to provide an interior courtesy lamps enable output, the BCU checks the following input
conditions:
lIgnition state.
lTransit mode.
lDriver's door open.
lPassenger or rear door open.
The courtesy lamps operate at full brightness when they are first switched on. The BCU then gradually dims the lamps
(fade-out) before completely switching them off. Fade-out occurs over a period of two seconds following the logical
control signal to turn off the lights. When a door is opened, the BCU provides earth paths from the interior lamps, the
load space lamp and the ignition switch illumination. The following table lists the courtesy lamps operation and
duration for holding the lamps on that occurs after the BCU has detected a condition that signals the courtesy lamps
should be switched on:
Instrument pack
The BCU communicates with the instrument pack to provide a range of functions.
