Diagnostic Aids
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- If the DTC does not reset after the code is cleared the problem may be intermittent. Perform the tests shown while moving related wiring and connectors. This can often cause the malfunction to occur. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.
- The following conditions may also cause an intermittent malfunction:
- There is an intermittent open, short to ground, or short to voltage in steering column telescope motor signal circuit.
- The steering column position sensor is open or shorted internally.
- If the SCM is unable to determine the correct steering column position, limited manual operation of the telescoping steering column will be functional, but the SCM will be unable to recall the correct memory settings.
- Using a scan tool, select SCM data display and monitor the Column Position Feedback data. Operate the steering column in both directions while monitoring the position sensor data. The voltage should range from 0.1 volt to 4.78 volts depending on the steering column position.
