FRONT FOG LAMP CIRCUIT
FRONT FOG LAMP CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000005146647
The IPDM E/R (intelligent power distribution module engine room) controls the front fog lamp relay based on
inputs from the BCM via the CAN communication lines. When the front fog lamp relay is energized, power
flows from the front fog lamp relay in the IPDM E/R to the front fog lamps.

TURN SIGNAL LAMP CIRCUIT
TURN SIGNAL LAMP CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000005146654
The BCM monitors inputs from the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) to determine when to
activate the turn signals. The BCM outputs voltage direction to the left and right turn signals during turn signal
operation or both during hazard warning operation. The BCM sends a turn signal indicator request to the com-
bination meter via the CAN communication lines.
The BCM performs the fast flasher operation (fail-safe) if any bulb or harness of the turn signal lamp circuit is
open.
NOTE:
Turn signal lamp blinks at normal speed when using the hazard warning lamp.
Component Function CheckINFOID:0000000005146655
1.CHECK TURN SIGNAL LAMP
CONSULT-III
1. Select "FLASHER" of BCM (FLASHER) active test item.
2. With operating the test items, check that the turn signal lamp blinks.
Does the turn signal lamp blink?
YES >> Turn signal lamp circuit is normal.
NO >> Refer to EXL-44, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000005146656
Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to EXL-77, "Wiring Diagram".
1.CHECK TURN SIGNAL LAMP BULB
Check the applicable lamp bulb to be sure the proper bulb standard is in use and the bulb is not open.
Is the bulb OK?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Replace the bulb.
2.CHECK TURN SIGNAL LAMP OUTPUT VOLTAGE
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect the front turn/fog lamp connector or the rear combi- nation lamp connector.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON.
