Steering Column Lock Module

The steering column lock module locks and unlocks the steering column based on commands received from the BCM. The steering column lock module monitors the position of the steering column lock and, if a fault is detected, reports the failure to the BCM.

When the steering column lock module is replaced, the configuration data for the original steering column lock module has to be deleted from the BCM using a scan tool. The BCM must configured/trained to the new steering column lock module for the steering column lock module to operate correctly.

The BCM sets a DTC if a fault is detected with the steering column lock module. Additionally, if the BCM is not configured to the steering column lock module, the steering column module keeps the column locked, a programming and/or configuration DTC sets and the vehicle does not start. To configure the BCM to the steering column lock module, Refer to: Anti-Theft Key Programming - Scan Tool .
