Fog Lamps

Principles of Operation

The Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) monitors the fog lamp switch (integrated into the headlamp switch) and sends a message to the Body Control Module (BCM) over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN), indicating the fog lamp switch position.

The fog lamps can be turned on when the following conditions are met:

- The ignition is in RUN or START

- The low beam headlamps or the parking lamps are on

- The high beams are off

When the BCM (Body Control Module) receives an input from the headlamp switch indicating a request for the fog lamps, the BCM (Body Control Module) provides ground to the fog lamp relay (integrated into the BCM (Body Control Module) ). When the fog lamp relay is energized, voltage is routed to the fog lamps.
