     Repair the short to voltage on the circuit

   • If less than 1 V 
8. Ignition OFF, connect the X4 harness connector at the K99 Steering Column Position Control Module. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
9. Ignition ON.
NOTE:

When performing the following test, make sure that the steering column is not already in the position the test is attempting to produce.

10. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuits listed below and the ground circuit terminal G. Verify the steering column telescopes FORWARD and REVERSE to the soft stop.
    • Terminal A
    • Terminal F
    • If the M65 Steering Column Telescope Motor does not operate 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K99 Steering Column Position Control Module.
    2. Test for 1-2.5 Ω between terminal 1 and terminal 2.
       • If not within the specified range, replace the M65 Steering Column Telescope Motor.
       • If within the specified range, replace the K99 Steering Column Position Control Module.
    • If the M65 Steering Column Telescope Motor operates 
NOTE:

When performing the following test, make sure that the steering column is not already in the position the test is attempting to produce.

11. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuits listed below and the ground circuit terminal G. Verify the steering column telescopes FORWARD and REVERSE to the soft stop.
    • Terminal B
    • Terminal C
    • If the M68 Steering Column Tilt Motor does not operate 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K99 Steering Column Position Control Module.
    2. Test for 1-2.5 Ω between terminal 1 and terminal 2.
       • If not within the specified range, replace the M68 Steering Column Tilt Motor.
       • If within the specified range, replace the K99 Steering Column Position Control Module.
    • If the M68 Steering Column Tilt Motor operates 
12. Test or replace the S71 Steering Column Tilt and Telescope Switch.
