Pinpoint Test C: The Adjustable Steering Column Operates In One Second Intervals When Using The Steering Column Control Switch (Jog Mode)

NOTE: Use the Flex Probe Kit for all test connections to prevent damage to the wiring terminals. Do not use standard multi-meter probes.

C1 CHECK THE TILT/TELESCOPE SENSOR CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: SCCM C2414C.
- Disconnect: Adjustable Steering Column Tilt Motor C2600.
- Disconnect: Adjustable Steering Column Telescope Motor C2601.
- Ignition ON.
- Measure the voltage between ground and:
  - SCCM C2414C-3, circuit RPP06 (GN), harness side.
  - SCCM C2414C-4, circuit VPP08 (WH), harness side.
  - SCCM C2414C-5, circuit VPP17 (VT/BN), harness side.

- Is any voltage present?
  - YES : REPAIR the affected circuit(s). CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  - No : GO to C2.
C2 CHECK THE TILT/TELESCOPE SENSOR CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Ignition OFF.
- Measure the resistance between ground and:
  - SCCM C2414C-3, circuit RPP06 (GN), harness side.
  - SCCM C2414C-4, circuit VPP08 (WH), harness side.
  - SCCM C2414C-5, circuit VPP17 (VT/BN), harness side.

- Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms?
  - YES : GO to C3.
  - No : REPAIR the affected circuit(s). CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
C3 CHECK THE TILT/TELESCOPE SENSOR CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TOGETHER
- Measure the resistance between SCCM C2414C-4, circuit VPP08 (WH), harness side and SCCM C2414C-5, circuit VPP17 (VT/BN), harness side.

- Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms?
  - YES : GO to C4.
  - No : REPAIR the affected circuit(s). CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.

C4 CHECK THE TILT/TELESCOPE SENSOR CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN

Measure the resistance between SCCM C2414C, harness side and adjustable steering column tilt motor C2600; and between SCCM C2414C, harness side and adjustable steering column telescope motor C2601, harness side using the following chart:

SCCM	Circuit	Adjustable Steering Column Tilt/Telescope Motor
C2414C-3	RPP06 (GN)	C2600-3
C2414C-3	RPP06 (GN)	C2601-4
C2414C-4	VPP08 (WH)	C2600-4
C2414C-5	VPP17 (VT/BN)	C2601-2

Are the resistances less than 5 ohms?
- YES : GO to C5.
- No : REPAIR the affected circuit(s). TEST the system for normal operation.

C5 CHECK THE SCCM CONNECTOR
- Check SCCM connector C2414C for:
  - corrosion
  - damaged pins
  - pushed-out pins
- Connect: SCCM C2414C.
- Connect: Adjustable Steering Column Tilt Motor C2600.
- Connect: Adjustable Steering Column Telescope Motor C2601.
- Ignition ON.
- Make sure the connectors are seated correctly then operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?
  - YES : If the adjustable steering column does not operate correctly when the steering column control switch is in the UP/DOWN (tilt) position(s), INSTALL a new adjustable steering column tilt motor. REFER to Steering Column Motor - Tilt in this service information. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. If the concern is still present, INSTALL a new SCCM. REFER to STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES . TEST the system for normal operation. If the adjustable steering column does not operate correctly when the steering column control switch is in the FORWARD/REARWARD (telescope) position(s), INSTALL a new steering column assembly. REFER to Steering Column in this service information. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. If the concern is still present, INSTALL a new SCCM. REFER to STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES . TEST the system for normal operation.
  - No : The system is operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
