Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 GMC Acadia, 2016 Chevrolet Traverse, and 2016 Buick Enclave. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Telescope or Tilt Sensor Circuit Malfunction

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the steering wheel tilt/telescope position sensor.
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 2.0 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
  3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal C and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
  4. Verify the scan tool Tilt Sensor and Telescope Sensor parameter is less than 0.2 volt.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuits listed below for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
    • Tilt Sensor terminal A
    • Telescope Sensor terminal D
  5. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuits listed below and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal C. Verify the scan tool tilt sensor and telescope sensor parameter is greater than 4.8 volts.
    • Tilt Sensor terminal A
    • Telescope Sensor terminal D
    • If less than the specified range, test the appropriate signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
  6. If all circuits test normal, replace the steering column.

Tilt/Telescope Actuator Circuit Malfunction

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the tilt/telescope actuator.
  2. Install a test lamp between the control circuit terminals listed below of the tilt/telescope motor.
    • Tilt Up/Tilt Down terminals 1 and 2
    • Telescope Forward/Telescope Rearward terminals 1 and 2
  3. Command the column to tilt up and down or telescope in and out using the tilt/telescope switch. The test lamp should illuminate with each command.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the appropriate tilt/telescope control circuits for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the MSM.
  4. If all circuits test normal, replace the steering column.
