Pinpoint Test B : The Steering Column Power Telescopic Feature Is Inoperative Using The Steering Column Control Switch

NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.

B1 CHECK THE COMMUNICATION NETWORK
- Ignition ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the network test.
Does the GWM, the SCCM and the DSM pass the network test?

Yes GO to B2

No REFER to: Communications Network - 2.0L Duratec - Hybrid (103kW/140PS) (UA) .

B2 CHECK FOR SCCM (STEERING COLUMN CONTROL MODULE) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the SCCM self-test.
Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) present?

Yes REFER to SCCM DTC Chart

No GO to B3

B3 CHECK THE SCCM (STEERING COLUMN CONTROL MODULE) STEERING COLUMN ADJUST SWITCH (STRCOL_ADJ) PID (PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION)

Using a diagnostic scan tool, view the SCCM Parameter Identifications (PIDs).

Using a diagnostic scan tool, monitor the SCCM STRCOL_ADJ PID while activating the steering column control switch in the up and down directions.

Does the PID display match the steering column control switch positions?

Yes

GO to B4

No	INSTALL a new steering column control switch.TEST the system for normal operation. If the concern is still present, GO to B9

B4 CHECK THE STEERING COLUMN TELESCOPIC MOTOR CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect DSM C341F.

Disconnect Steering Column Telescopic Motor C2601.

Ignition ON.

Is any voltage present?

Yes	REPAIR the circuit in question.

GO to B5

B5 CHECK THE STEERING COLUMN TELESCOPIC MOTOR CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

Ignition OFF.

Measure:

Positive Lead	Measurement / Action	Negative Lead
C2601-1	Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY	Ground
C2601-3	Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY	Ground

Are the resistances greater than 10, 000 ohms?

Yes

GO to B6

No	REPAIR the circuit in question.

B6 CHECK THE STEERING COLUMN TELESCOPIC MOTOR CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN

Measure:

Positive Lead	Measurement / Action	Negative Lead
C2601-1	Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY	C341F-12
C2601-3	Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY	C341F-13

Are the resistances less than 3 ohms?

Yes

GO to B7

No	REPAIR the circuit in question.

B7 CHECK THE STEERING COLUMN TELESCOPIC MOTOR OPERATION

Connect Steering Column Telescopic Motor C2601.

NOTE: Only connect the ground jumper wire momentarily. If the column does not move in the direction desired, check the opposite direction in the event the column is already at the end of travel. Recheck the original direction if the column successfully moves.

Connect:

Inward Movement (towards instrument panel)

Does the telescopic motor move in both directions?

Yes

GO to B8

No	INSTALL a new steering column. REFER to: Steering Column .

B8 CHECK FOR CORRECT DSM (DRIVER FRONT SEAT MODULE) OPERATION

Disconnect and inspect all the DSM connectors.

Repair:
- corrosion (install new connectors or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary

Reconnect the DSM connectors and make sure they seat and latch correctly.

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

Is the concern still present?

Yes	CHECK OASIS for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new DSM. REFER to: Driver Front Seat Module (DSM) .

No	The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.

B9 CHECK FOR CORRECT SCCM (STEERING COLUMN CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION

Disconnect and inspect all the SCCM connectors.

Repair:
- corrosion (install new connectors or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary

Reconnect the SCCM connectors and make sure they seat and latch correctly.

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

Is the concern still present?

Yes	CHECK OASIS for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new SCCM. REFER to: Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) .

No	The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
