The Adjustable Steering Column is Inoperative in One or More Directions Using the Steering Column Control Switch
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 128 for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The SCCM receives input directly from the steering column control switch then sends a message along the HS-CAN2 to the GWM indicating the desired steering column movement. The GWM sends the message to the DSM along the MS-CAN which activates the tilt and telescopic (reach) motors depending on the message received.
A failure of the steering column control switch, circuits, motor or module cause the power adjustable column to become inoperative and a DTC may be set in the SCCM and the DSM .

The Adjustable Steering Column Is Inoperative In One Or More Directions Using The Memory Position Switch, RKE Transmitter or Easy Entry/Easy Exit Feature
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 128 for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
For RKE memory recall operation, the RTM sends RKE commands to the BCM over a LIN . The BCM sends those commands to the GWM over the HS-CAN1 and the GWM sends those commands to the DSM over the MS-CAN . The DSM then commands the adjustable steering column tilt and telescopic motors to the desired positions.
For easy entry/exit feature operation, the GWM gathers various module messages (transmission gear position, ignition status and driver door ajar status) and relays these messages to the DSM . The DSM then commands the adjustable steering column tilt and telescopic motors to the desired positions.
For memory position recall operation using the memory position switch, the switch sends ground signals directly to the DSM , which then commands the adjustable steering column tilt and telescopic motors to the desired positions.
For additional easy entry/easy exit or memory recall function information,

The Adjustable Steering Column Operates In One Second Intervals When Using The Steering Column Control Switch (Jog Mode)
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 128 for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
If an adjustable steering column tilt or telescopic motor sensor (reach motor sensor) DTC sets (or if either of the sensor circuits become open), the DSM does not recall a programmed memory position or automatically position the steering column during the easy entry/exit operations. Under these fault conditions, 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 regardless of the length of time the switch is activated. The steering column control switch must be released, then activated again in order to move the steering column for an additional second.

The Adjustable Steering Column is Inoperative in One or More Directions
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 128 for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
To protect the power tilt and telescopic motors, motor circuits and the electronics internal to the DSM , the DSM continually monitors both motors for a stall condition whenever the motors are activated. If the one or both motors stop moving unexpectedly for at least one-quarter of a second, the DSM stops applying power to the motors until the next time it receives a command to move the motor. If this condition is detected during a DSM on-demand self test of the DSM , a power tilt or power telescopic motor stall DTC is set.
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
---|---|---|
B1375:09 | Steering Column Tilt Motor: Component Failure | This DTC sets in continuous memory during an attempt to change the position of the adjustable steering column if there is high resistance in the connections between the DSM and the adjustable steering column tilt motor. This DTC will also set if there is an internal failure of the adjustable steering column tilt motor. |
B1375:11 | Steering Column Tilt Motor: Circuit Short To Ground | This DTC sets when the DSM senses the tilt motor current draw has exceeded a specified threshold. When this DTC sets, the DSM disables the circuit until the ignition is cycled. |

B137E:09 | Steering Column Telescope Motor: Component Failure | This DTC sets in continuous memory during an attempt to change the position of the adjustable steering column if there is high resistance in the connections between the DSM and the adjustable steering column telescope motor.
