Pinpoint Test C: The Adjustable Steering Column Operates In One Second Intervals When Using The Steering Column Control Switch (Jog Mode)

NOTE: Use the Flex Probe Kit for all test connections to prevent damage to the wiring terminals. Do not use standard multi-meter probes.
  1. C1 CHECK THE TILT/TELESCOPE SENSOR CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: SCCM C2414A  .
    • Disconnect: Adjustable Steering Column Tilt Motor C267  .
    • Disconnect: Adjustable Steering Column Telescope Motor C227  .
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure the voltage between:
      • SCCM C2414A-22  , circuit RPP06 (GN), harness side and ground.
      • SCCM C2414A-25  , circuit VPP08 (WH), harness side and ground.
      • SCCM C2414A-24  , circuit VPP17 (VT/BN), harness side and ground.

    Is any voltage present? 

    • Yes  : REPAIR the affected circuit(s). TEST the system for normal operation.
    • No  : GO to C2  .
  2. C2 CHECK THE TILT/TELESCOPE SENSOR CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Measure the resistance between:
      • SCCM C2414A-22  , circuit RPP06 (GN), harness side and ground.
      • SCCM C2414A-25  , circuit VPP08 (WH), harness side and ground.
      • SCCM C2414A-24  , circuit VPP17 (VT/BN), harness side and ground.

    Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms? 

    • Yes  : GO to C3  .
    • No  : REPAIR the affected circuit(s). TEST the system for normal operation.
  3. C3 CHECK THE TILT/TELESCOPE SENSOR CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TOGETHER 
    • Measure the resistance between SCCM C2414A-25  , circuit VPP08 (WH), harness side and SCCM C2414A-24  , circuit VPP17 (VT/BN), harness side.

    Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms? 

    • Yes  : GO to C4  .
    • No  : REPAIR the affected circuit(s). TEST the system for normal operation.
  4. C4 CHECK THE TILT/TELESCOPE SENSOR CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN 
    • Measure the resistance between SCCM C2414A  , harness side and adjustable steering column tilt motor C267  ; and between SCCM C2414A  , harness side and adjustable steering column telescope motor C227  , harness side using the following chart:

    Are the resistances less than 5 ohms? 

    • Yes  : GO to C5  .
    • No  : REPAIR the affected circuit(s). TEST the system for normal operation.
  5. C5 CHECK FOR CORRECT SCCM OPERATION 
    • Disconnect and inspect all SCCM  connectors.
    • Repair:
      • corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
    • Reconnect the SCCM  connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    • Yes  : CHECK OASIS  for any applicable TSBs. If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, PROCEED to the following:

      If the adjustable steering column does not operate correctly when the steering column control switch is in the UP/DOWN (tilt) position(s), INSTALL a new adjustable steering column tilt motor. REFER to STEERING COLUMN MOTOR . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. If the concern is still present, INSTALL a new SCCM  . REFER to STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES .

      If the adjustable steering column does not operate correctly when the steering column control switch is in the FORWARD/REARWARD (telescope) position(s), INSTALL a new steering column assembly. REFER to STEERING COLUMN . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. If the concern is still present, INSTALL a new SCCM  . REFER to STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES .

    • No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
