Steering Column Tilt Motor

The tilt motor controls the upward and downward position of the power adjustable steering column, when the tilt motor receives an upward or downward signal from the steering column control switch. The tilt motor is equipped with a Hall-effect type rotation sensor that sends digital signals to the SCCM. The SCCM uses these signals to calculate the location of the steering column in relation to the full up and down positions and to make sure the tilt motor does not stall against the steering column end of travel in the up or down direction. The tilt motor is serviced separately from the steering column.
