B0228

What it means

The body control module has detected a fault in the front fog lamp circuit — typically an open bulb, blown fuse, or wiring fault. One or both fog lamps may not work.

Is it safe to drive?

The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.

• Fog lamp bulb blown

  high

  One of the most commonly reported causes for this code — check this first.

• Fog lamp fuse blown

  medium

  A plausible cause — test and verify before replacing parts.

• Wiring or connector fault

  low
