Buzz Squeak Rattle (BSR)

WARNING:

Before servicing the steering column the airbag system must be disarmed. Failure to do so may result in accidental deployment of the airbag and possible personal injury.

CAUTION:

Steering column module is centered to the vehicles steering system. Failure to keep the system and steering column module centered and locked/inhibited from rotating can result in steering column module damage.

  1. Remove the Steering Column Control Module (SCCM). Refer to MODULE, STEERING COLUMN CONTROL (SCCM), REMOVAL .
  2. Slide the steering wheel on the steering column.
  3. Turn the steering wheel and inspect for BSR complaint.
    • If BSR is not present, inspect/replace/repair as necessary the SCCM and mounting surface on the column. Install the new/repaired SCCM. Refer to MODULE, STEERING COLUMN CONTROL (SCCM), INSTALLATION . Remaining steps below do not apply. 
    • If BSR is present, return steering column and front wheels to the straight ahead position, inhibit rotation of the steering column with adhesive tape or strap, and continue to Step 4  .
    NOTE:

    Some vehicles may not be equipped with a serviceable intermediate shaft, therefore it may not be possible to isolate the concern. If the symptom persists, the steering column and intermediate shaft may have to be replaced as an assembly.

  4. Remove and DISCARD  the pinch bolt from the intermediate shaft coupling. Separate shaft from coupling.
  5. Turn steering wheel and inspect for BSR complaint.
