id0902p4015000

Description

Rear fog light circuit malfunction

Detection condition
•  Open circuit detected in rear fog light circuit while rear body control module (RBCM) controls rear fog light illumination.
Fail-safe function
Not applicable
Possible cause
•  Rear fog light connector or terminal malfunction
•  Rear fog light bulb malfunction
•  Open circuit in wiring harness between rear fog light terminal B and body ground
•  Rear body control module (RBCM) connector or terminal malfunction
•  Open circuit in wiring harness between rear body control module (RBCM) terminal 4Q and rear fog light terminal A
•  Rear body control module (RBCM) malfunction

Diagnostic Procedure

Step

Inspection

Action

1
VERIFY REAR BODY CONTROL MODULE (RBCM) DTCs AGAIN
•  Clear the DTC for the rear body control module (RBCM) using the M-MDS.
•  Operate the light switch in HEAD position and the fog light switch in R.FOG position.
•  Retrieve the rear body control module (RBCM) DTCs using the M-MDS.
•  Is the same DTC displayed?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Go to Step 8.
2
INSPECT REAR FOG LIGHT CONNECTOR
•  Switch the ignition off.
•  Disconnect the rear fog light connector.
•  Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.
•  Is the connector normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 7.
3
INSPECT REAR FOG LIGHT BULB
•  Inspect the rear fog light bulb.
•  Is the rear fog light bulb normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the rear fog light bulb, then go to Step 7.
4
INSPECT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT IN REAR FOG LIGHT GROUND CIRCUIT
•  Verify that the rear fog light connector is disconnected.
•  Inspect for continuity between rear fog light terminal B (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between rear fog light terminal B and body ground.
If there is a common connector:
•  Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.
•  Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
•  Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.
Go to Step 7.
5
INSPECT REAR BODY CONTROL MODULE (RBCM) CONNECTOR
•  Disconnect the rear body control module (RBCM) connector.
•  Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.
•  Is the connector normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 7.
6
INSPECT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT IN REAR FOG LIGHT CIRCUIT
•  Verify that the rear body control module (RBCM) and rear fog light connectors are disconnected.
•  Inspect for continuity between rear body control module (RBCM) terminal 4Q (wiring harness-side) and rear fog light terminal A (wiring harness-side).
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between rear body control module (RBCM) terminal 4Q and rear fog light terminal A.
If there is a common connector:
•  Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.
•  Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
•  Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.
Go to the next step.
7
VERIFY THAT REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED
•  Always reconnect all disconnected connectors.
•  Clear the DTC for the rear body control module (RBCM) using the M-MDS.
•  Operate the light switch in HEAD position and the fog light switch in R.FOG position.
•  Retrieve the rear body control module (RBCM) DTCs using the M-MDS.
•  Is the same DTC displayed?
Yes
Repeat the inspection from Step 1.
•  If the malfunction recurs, replace the rear body control module (RBCM).
Go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
8
VERIFY IF OTHER DTCs DISPLAYED
•  Are any other DTCs displayed?
Yes
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.
No
DTC troubleshooting completed.
