Component Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Tilt/Telescope Switch

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the tilt/telescope switch.
  2. Test for infinite resistance between the following terminals with the switch in the neutral position:
    • B+ terminal 4 and signal terminal 5
    • B+ terminal 4 and signal terminal 1
    • B+ terminal 4 and signal terminal 2
    • B+ terminal 4 and signal terminal 3
    • If less than the specified range, replace the tilt/telescope switch.
  3. Test for less than 1 ohm or resistance between the B+ terminal 4 and the signal terminal 5 with the switch in the TILT UP position.
    • If greater than the specified range, replace the tilt/telescope switch.
  4. Test for less than 1 ohm or resistance between the B+ terminal 4 and the signal terminal 1 with the switch in the TILT DOWN position.
    • If greater than the specified range, replace the tilt/telescope switch.
  5. Test for less than 1 ohm or resistance between the B+ terminal 4 and the signal terminal 2 with the switch in the TELESCOPE OUT position.
    • If greater than the specified range, replace the tilt/telescope switch.
  6. Test for less than 1 ohm or resistance between the B+ terminal 4 and the signal terminal 3 with the switch in the TELESCOPE IN position.
    • If greater than the specified range, replace the tilt/telescope switch.

Tilt/Telescoping Actuator

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X1 at the appropriate tile/telescoping actuator.
  2. Test for less than 2.0 ohms of resistance between the control terminal A and the control terminal B.
    • If greater than the specified range, replace the appropriate tilt/telescoping actuator.
