  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: Data Logger - SCCM  .
    • Monitor the SW_ANG_SENS PID.

    Does the PID display CORRECT? 

    • Yes  : The condition that caused the DTC to set is not present at this time. CLEAR the DTCs. 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  .

      • 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.
