FRONT FOG LAMP CIRCUIT

Description

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.


Component Function Check


1. CHECK FRONT FOG LAMP OPERATION

WITHOUT CONSULT
