  1. I1 CHECK THE SCCM DTCs 
    • Review the SCCM DTCs retrieved and recorded during Inspection and Verification.
    • Is DTC B119D:16 and/or B119D:17 present?

  2. I2 CHECK THE STEERING WHEEL ANGLE SENSOR STATUS (SW_ANG_SENS) PID 
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: DataLogger - SCCM.
    • Monitor the SW_ANG_SENS PID.
    • Does the PID display CORRECT?

DRIVE the vehicle for more than 1 minute at a speed greater than 32 km/h (20 mph) and make at least one left turn and one right turn. REPEAT the self-test. If the DTC(s) does not return, RETURN the vehicle to the customer. If the DTC(s) return, GO to I3.

      • corrosion
      • damaged pins
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect: All SCCM Connectors.
    • Make sure the SCCM connectors are seated correctly, then operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
      • Yes  : INSTALL a new SCCM. REFER to STEERING COLUMN CONTROL MODULE (SCCM)  . CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
      • No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. TEST the system for normal operation.
