Pinpoint Test A : The Adjustable Steering Column Is Inoperative In One Or More Directions - Using The Steering Column Control Switch: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Lincoln MKS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Refer to Adjustable Steering Column , for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation 

When the steering column control switch (mounted directly to the SCCM) is activated, the SCCM supplies voltage and ground to the applicable steering column tilt or telescoping motor to move the steering column to the desired position.

Possible Sources: 

DTC DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
B1375:18 Steering Column Tilt Motor: Circuit Current Below Threshold This DTC sets when the SCCM senses current flow to the adjustable steering column tilt motor is below a preset limit while the steering column control switch is activated. This may be caused by an open or high resistance in the adjustable steering column tilt motor circuits.
B1375:19 Steering Column Tilt Motor: Circuit Current Above Threshold This DTC sets when the SCCM senses current flow to the adjustable steering column tilt motor is above a preset limit while the steering column control switch is activated. This may be caused by a short to ground in the adjustable steering column tilt motor circuits.
B1375:71 Steering Column Tilt Motor: Actuator Stuck This DTC sets when the SCCM senses current flow to the adjustable steering column tilt motor is within a specific range but above a preset limit during self test.
B137E:18 Steering Column Telescope Motor: Current Below Threshold This DTC sets when the SCCM senses current flow to the adjustable steering column telescope motor is below a preset limit while the steering column control switch is activated. This may be caused by an open or high resistance in the adjustable steering column telescope motor circuits.
B137E:19 Steering Column Telescope Motor: Current Above Threshold This DTC sets when the SCCM senses current flow to the adjustable steering column telescope motor is above a preset limit while the steering column control switch is activated. This may be caused by a short to ground in the adjustable steering column telescope motor circuits.
B137E:71 Steering Column Telescope Motor: Actuator Stuck This DTC sets when the SCCM senses current flow to the adjustable steering column telescope motor is within a specific range but above a preset limit during on-demand self test.
