Jog Mode
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If the DSM loses the signal from either of the steering column tilt/telescopic motor sensors, the affected steering column motor operates in jog mode. Jog mode allows limited operation of the affected steering column motor using only the steering column control switch. When the steering column control switch is operated in jog mode, the steering column moves in the desired direction for one second, then stops. The steering column control switch must be released, then pressed again in order to move the steering column for an additional second. Jog mode is an indication that there is a tilt or telescoping motor sensor or circuit fault. If the adjustable steering column is operating in jog mode, a DTC sets in the DSM.
