Pinpoint Test A: The Adjustable Steering Column Is Inoperative In One Or More Directions Using The Steering Column Control Switch: Notes

Refer to Adjustable Steering Column for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

The SCCM receives input directly from the steering column control switch then sends a message along the HS-CAN2 to the GWM indicating the desired steering column movement. The GWM sends the message to the DSM along the MS-CAN which activates the tilt and telescopic (reach) motors depending on the message received.

A failure of the steering column control switch, circuits, motor or module cause the power adjustable column to become inoperative and a DTC may be set in the SCCM and the DSM.

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
B1375:09 Steering Column Tilt Motor: Component Failure This DTC sets in continuous memory during an attempt to change the position of the adjustable steering column if there is high resistance in the connections between the DSM and the adjustable steering column tilt motor. This DTC will also set if there is an internal failure of the adjustable steering column tilt motor.
B1375:11 Steering Column Tilt Motor: Circuit Short To Ground This DTC sets when the DSM senses the tilt motor current draw has exceeded a specified threshold. When this DTC sets, the DSM disables the circuit until the ignition is cycled.
B1375:12 Steering Column Tilt Motor: Circuit Short To Battery This DTC sets when the DSM senses the tilt motor circuit voltage is above a specified threshold when the driver is active.
B1375:13 Steering Column Tilt Motor: Circuit Open This DTC sets when the DSM senses the tilt motor circuit voltage current draw is less than a specified threshold when the driver is active. When this DTC sets, the DSM disables the circuit until the ignition is cycled.
B1375:1A Steering Column Tilt Motor: Circuit Resistance Below Threshold A fault is indicated when the DSM measures less than the desired resistance range between the tilt motor circuits when the driver is active.
B137E:09 Steering Column Telescope Motor: Component Failure This DTC sets in continuous memory during an attempt to change the position of the adjustable steering column if there is high resistance in the connections between the DSM and the adjustable steering column telescope motor. This DTC will also set if there is an internal failure of the adjustable steering column telescope motor.
B137E:11 Steering Column Telescope Motor: Circuit Short To Ground This DTC sets when the DSM senses the telescope motor current draw has exceeded a specified threshold. When this DTC sets, the DSM disables the circuit until the ignition is cycled.
B137E:12 Steering Column Telescope Motor: Circuit Short To Battery This DTC sets when the DSM senses the telescope motor circuit voltage is above a specified threshold when the driver is active.
B137E:13 Steering Column Telescope Motor: Circuit Open This DTC sets when the DSM senses the telescope motor circuit current draw is less than a specified threshold when the driver is active. When this DTC sets, the DSM disables the circuit until the ignition is cycled.
B137E:1A Steering Column Telescope Motor: Circuit Resistance Below Threshold A fault is indicated when the DSM measures less than the desired resistance range between the tilt motor circuits when the driver is active.
