Refer to Adjustable Steering Column for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

REFER to: Steering Column - System Operation and Component Description  .

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
B1375:11 Steering Column Tilt Motor: Circuit Short To Ground This DTC sets when the BCMB senses the tilt motor current draw has exceeded a specified threshold. When this DTC sets, the BCMB disables the circuit until the ignition is cycled.
B1375:15 Steering Column Tilt Motor: Circuit Short To Battery or Open This DTC sets when the BCMB senses the tilt motor circuit voltage is above a specified threshold when the driver is active. This DTC will also set if the BCMB senses the tilt motor circuit voltage current draw is less than a specified threshold when the driver is active. When this DTC sets, the BCMB disables the circuit until the ignition is cycled.
B137E:11 Steering Column Telescope Motor: Circuit Short To Ground This DTC sets when the BCMB senses the telescope motor current draw has exceeded a specified threshold. When this DTC sets, the BCMB disables the circuit until the ignition is cycled.
B137E:15 Steering Column Telescope Motor: Circuit Short To Battery or Open This DTC sets when the DSM senses the telescope motor circuit voltage is above a specified threshold when the driver is active. This DTC will also set if the BCMB senses the telescope motor circuit current draw is less than a specified threshold when the driver is active. When this DTC sets, the BCMB disables the circuit until the ignition is cycled.

  7. D7 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCMB (BODY CONTROL MODULE B) OPERATION

    • Disconnect and inspect all BCMB electrical connectors.

    • Repair:

      • corrosion (install new connector or terminal - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals or pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary

    • Connect the BCMB electrical connectors.

    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern is still present? 

    Yes  CHECK OASIS for any applicable service articles: TSB, GSB, SSM, or FSA. If a service article exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the service article instructions. If no service articles address this concern, INSTALL a new BCMB. REFER to: Body Control Module B (BCMB) .
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
