Diagnostics and testing of front fog lights (Discovery 3)

Inspection and verification

1. Ensure that the customer's complaint is justified.

2. Visually inspect for obvious electrical problems.

Mechanical factors	Electrical factors
Condition and installation of front fog lights Lamps and installation Lamp holders and installation Adjusting screw Fog light switch condition and installation	Fuses Battery electrical junction box (BJB) - fuse 2E BJB - fuse 11E Central electrical junction box (CJB) - fuse 28P CJB - fuse 38P Wiring harness Loosening or corrosion of connector(s) Fog light relay Fog light indicator lamp Fog light switch Battery Junction Box (BJB) Central Junction Box (CJB)

3. If an obvious cause for the problem you identified or the customer described is found, resolve it before moving on to further action. (if possible).

4. Use the approved diagnostic system or scan tool to retrieve all diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) before referring to the symptom chart or DTC index.

Since DTCs are stored in more than one module, a full vehicle data read is recommended.

Clear all DTCs after troubleshooting.

DTC Index

NOTE: Generic scan tools cannot read the codes listed or can only read 5-digit codes. Match the 5 digits from the scan tool with the first 5 digits of the listed 7-digit code to identify the fault. (the last 2 digits provide additional information readable by a manufacturer approved diagnostic system).

DTC	Description	Possible reasons	Action
B1A7864	Front fog lights	Lack of signal credibility	Check the instrument cluster module and electrical circuits. Refer to the electrical manual.
B1D4013	Electrical circuit for connecting the light switch	Light Switch Wiring Circuit: Open Circuit	Refer to the guided diagnostic program for this code on the approved diagnostic system. Refer to the electrical guides and check the switch circuit. Replace/repair as necessary.
