Normal Operation

When the steering column control switch (mounted directly to the Steering Column Control Module (SCCM)) is activated, the SCCM supplies voltage and ground to the applicable steering column tilt or telescoping motor to move the steering column to the desired position.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following: 

DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
  • B1375: 18 - Steering Column Tilt Motor: Circuit Current Below Threshold
This DTC sets when the SCCM senses current flow to the adjustable steering column tilt motor is below a preset limit while the steering column control switch is activated. This may be caused by an open or high resistance in the adjustable steering column tilt motor circuits.
  • B1375: 19 - Steering Column Tilt Motor: Circuit Current Above Threshold
This DTC sets when the SCCM senses current flow to the adjustable steering column tilt motor is above a preset limit while the steering column control switch is activated. This may be caused by a short to ground in the adjustable steering column tilt motor circuits.
  • B1375: 71 - Steering Column Tilt Motor: Actuator Stuck
This DTC sets when the SCCM senses current flow to the adjustable steering column tilt motor is within a specific range but above a preset limit during self test.
  • B137E: 18 - Steering Column Telescope Motor: Current Below Threshold
This DTC sets when the SCCM senses current flow to the adjustable steering column telescope motor is below a preset limit while the steering column control switch is activated. This may be caused by an open or high resistance in the adjustable steering column telescope motor circuits.
  • B137E: 19 - Steering Column Telescope Motor: Current Above Threshold
This DTC sets when the SCCM senses current flow to the adjustable steering column telescope motor is above a preset limit while the steering column control switch is activated. This may be caused by a short to ground in the adjustable steering column telescope motor circuits.
  • B137E: 71 - Steering Column Telescope Motor: Actuator Stuck
This DTC sets when the SCCM senses current flow to the adjustable steering column telescope motor is within a specific range but above a preset limit during on-demand self test.
