Fog/Driving Lamp: Description and Operation

FOG LAMPS

When the ignition switch is in the ON position and the headlamp switch is in either PARK or HEAD position, the fog lights illuminate whenever you press the fog lamp switch. The FOG RLY fuse in the top of the engine fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to both the fog lamp relay switch contacts and to the fog lamp relay coil circuit. The fog lamp relay coil is controlled by the Body Control Module (BCM). Whenever you press the fog lamp switch, the BCM fog lamp switch input is grounded. The BCM energizes the control circuit of the fog lamp relay coil. The current flows from the fog lamp relay to both front fog lamps and to ground G101. The fog lamps remain ON until you again press the front fog lamp switch, or until you cycle the ignition switch OFF and ON. The park lamps or low beam headlamps must be ON in order for the fog lamps to be illuminated. Fog lamp operation will be cancelled whenever the park lamps are turned OFF or the high beam headlamps have been selected.
