Component Testing

Steering Column Tilt/Telescope Switch Test

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S71 Steering Column Tilt and Telescope Switch.
  2. Test for infinite resistance between the low reference terminal G and each signal terminal with the S71 Steering Column Tilt and Telescope Switch in the released position.
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Replace the S71 Steering Column Tilt and Telescope Switch.

    • Go to next step: If infinite resistance 
  3. Test for less than 2 Ω between the ground terminal G and each signal terminal with the S71 Steering Column Tilt and Telescope Switch in the pressed position.
    • If 2 Ω or greater 

      Replace the S71 Steering Column Tilt and Telescope Switch.

    • Go to next step: If less than 2 Ω 
  4. All OK.

Steering Column Telescope Motor Test

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K99 Steering Column Position Control Module.
  2. Test for 1 - 2.5 Ω between terminal 1 and terminal 2.
    • If not within the specified range 

      Replace the M65 Steering Column Telescope Motor.

    • Go to next step: If within the specified range 
  3. All OK.

Steering Column Tilt Motor Test

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K99 Steering Column Position Control Module.
  2. Test for 1 - 2.5 Ω between terminal 1 and terminal 2.
    • If not within the specified range 

      Replace the M68 Steering Column Tilt Motor.

    • Go to next step: If within the specified range 
  3. All OK.
