Manual Switch Circuit

  1. Remove tilt and telescopic control module and leave harness connectors connected. With ignition off, measure voltage between tilt and telescopic control module connector T10, terminals No. 5 and No. 17. See Figure. Operate manual switch in each position and note voltage reading. See MANUAL SWITCH OPERATION PIN VOLTAGE  table. If voltages are as specified, go to TROUBLE SHOOTING  and identify next circuit to be checked. If voltages are not as specified, go to next step.

    Telescopic Extend 2.40
    Tilt Up 1.50
    Telescopic Retract .90
    Tilt Down .35
    (1) Approximate measured voltage.
  2. Disconnect manual switch wiring harness connector. Measure resistance between manual switch connector terminals No. 4 and No. 6. See Fig 1. Operate manual switch in each position and note resistance. See MANUAL SWITCH RESISTANCE  table. If resistances are as specified, go to next step. If resistances are not as specified, replace tilt and telescopic manual switch.
