Module - Steering Control: Operation

WARNING: To service any component of the SCCM, the entire assembly must be removed from the column. This must be done due to the clockspring passing through the assembly and into the self docking connector. Failure to remove the assembly could damage the pins of the clockspring and prevent the airbag system from operating properly.

The Steering Control Module (SCM) communicates via the Local Interconnect Network (LIN) serial data bus. This is an ultra-low voltage serial data bus that allows the following components to communicate with the Controller Area Network (CAN) B and C data buses.

  1. Steering Wheel Switches
  2. Horn
  3. Speed Control Switch
  4. Multi-function Switch
  5. Tilt/Telescoping Switch (if equipped)
  6. Steering Angle Sensor (if equipped with Electronic Stability Program (ESP))
  7. Steering Control Module (SCM)

The SCM changes the LIN communication to CAN communication and also stores Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) for the switches within the SCCM.

For removal and installation, disassembly and assembly of the SCCM, refer to the following:

NOTE: For Steering Column Module (SCM) removal and installation, refer to the disassembly and assembly procedures for the Steering Column Control Module (SCCM).

  2. Disassembly of SCCM. Refer to DISASSEMBLY .
  3. Assembly of SCCM. Refer to ASSEMBLY .
  4. Installation of the SCCM. Refer to INSTALLATION .

The SCM is not serviceable and if found faulty, it must be replaced as a unit.
