Memory Position Programming and Recall

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lincoln MKX and 2014 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The SCCM monitors steering column position using Hall-effect sensors that are integral to the tilt and telescoping motors. When a memory position is recalled through either the memory SET switch or the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, the SCCM monitors the Hall-effect sensors and stops sending voltage to the steering column motors once the commanded memory position is reached. If the SCCM receives a steering column switch input during a memory position recall function, the module stops the memory recall and responds to the new steering column switch position input.

When the RKE transmitter is activated, a message is sent over the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) to the Driver Seat Module (DSM). When the memory SET switch is pressed, the DSM senses continuity to ground on the switch circuit. When the DSM receives either the MS-CAN message or the ground input through the switch circuit, it sends a message over the MS-CAN to the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as a gateway module, relaying the MS-CAN message that was received from the DSM to the SCCM over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN). The SCCM then sends voltage over the appropriate circuit to the steering column tilt or telescoping motor to adjust the steering column position.
