  DTC Description Action
B1046:23 Front Fog Lamp Control Switch: Signal Stuck Low   GO to Pinpoint Test C
B1A78:12 Front Fog Lamp: Circuit Short To Battery   GO to Pinpoint Test A
B1A78:14 Front Fog Lamp: Circuit Short To Ground Or Open
  • If the fog lamps are inoperative, GO to Pinpoint Test A
  • If the fog lamps are always on, GO to Pinpoint Test C
U3000:49 Control Module: Internal Electronic Failure The module has permanently disabled an output because an excessive current draw fault (such as a short to ground) has exceeded the limits that the BCM can withstand. The cause of the excessive current draw MUST be corrected before a new BCM is installed. ADDRESS all other Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) first. After the cause of the concern is corrected, INSTALL a new BCM .
