Power Adjustable Steering Column

The adjustable steering column is controlled by 2 electric motors that are powered by the Driver Seat Module (DSM). The DSM receives input from the steering column control switch. The steering column control switch is a 4-position, momentary-contact switch located on the LH side of the steering column just below the multifunction switch. When the steering column control switch is moved to any of the 4 positions, it sends a signal to the DSM to tilt the steering column up or down or telescope the steering column forward or rearward. The power tilt motor is serviceable separately from the steering column. The power telescoping motor is not serviceable. If a new telescoping motor is needed, a new steering column must be installed.
