The steering column tilt motor receives information from the steering column position sensor when a memory position is requested. The steering column position sensor sends the tilt motor position information to the instrument cluster where it is stored and is used when several adjustable features are requested. The steering column position sensor sends the steering column tilt position to the instrument cluster through circuit 8-AL17 (WH/VT), and circuit 33-AL6 (YE/BU) powers the tilt motor.
