Circuit/System Testing

2006 Chevrolet Suburban C2500, 6.0 USECTION Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 GMC Sierra, 2008 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2008 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2008 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Fog Lamp Switch Circuit Test

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the headlamp switch.
  2. Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the ground circuit terminal 8 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Front Fog Lamp Switch parameter is Inactive.
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 10 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  4. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 10 and the ground circuit terminal 8. Verify the scan tool Front Fog Lamp Switch parameter is Active.
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the headlamp switch.

Fog Lamp Control Circuit Test

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the fog lamp relay.
  2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the control circuit terminal 87 and ground.
    • If the test lamp illuminates, test the fog lamp control circuit for a short to voltage.
  3. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 30 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, replace the underhood fuse block.
  4. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 85 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, replace the underhood fuse block.
  5. Disconnect the harness connector at the affected fog lamp.
  6. Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the fog lamp ground circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  7. Connect the harness connector at the fog lamp.
  8. Connect a 15A fused jumper wire between the B+ circuit terminal 30 and the control circuit terminal 87. Verify the fog lamps are activated.
    • If the fog lamps do not activate, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the affected fog lamp.
  9. Connect a test lamp between the B+ circuit terminal 85 and the relay control circuit terminal 86.
  10. Command the Fog Lamps ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
    • If the test lamp is always ON, test the relay control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  11. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the fog lamp relay.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
