FRONT FOG LAMP
FRONT FOG LAMP
System DiagramINFOID:0000000005369879
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005369880
The front fog lamps are activated with the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch). The combina-
tion switch (lighting and turn signal switch) signal to the BCM is monitored with the BCM combination switch
reading function. When the fog lamps are turned ON wit h the combination switch (lighting and turn signal
switch), the BCM sends a front fog lamp request signal via CAN communication lines to the IPDM E/R. The
IPDM E/R grounds the front fog lamp relay coil to activate the front fog lamps.

Component DescriptionINFOID:0000000005369881
FRONT FOG LAMP OPERATION
When the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) is in front fog lamp ON position and also in 1ST
or 2ND position or AUTO position (headlamp is ON), the BCM detects FR FOG ON and the HEAD LAMP1, 2
ON or the AUTO LIGHT ON. The BCM sends a front fog lamp request ON signal via the CAN communication
lines to the IPDM E/R. The IPDM E/R then turns ON t he front fog lamp relay sending power 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.
4. With turn signal switch operating, check the voltage between the BCM harness connector M20 and ground.LH : Turn signal lamp LH blinking
RH : Turn signal lamp RH blinking
Off : The turn signal lamp OFF
