1. Tilt Malfunction 2. Telescope Malfunction |
The memory seat module (MSM) receives voltage inputs from the tilt/telescope switch based on the position of the switch. The MSM then supplies battery voltage and a ground to the tilt or telescope motor control circuits depending on which direction of movement is requested.
The ignition ON.
The MSM detects a telescope rearward switch input for more than 30 consecutive seconds after rearward movement of the motor has stopped.
• | The telescope motor will be deactivated. |
• | Memory recall functions will be disabled. |
• | A current DTC will clear when the failed switch input is no longer active. |
• | A history DTC will clear after 100 ignition cycles. |
• | An intermittently stuck telescope switch may cause this DTC to set. |
• | The power column or tilt/telescopic switch is internal to the steering column. A complete replacement of the steering column is the only replacement for the tilt telescopic switch or power column failure. |

Ignition ON, view the scan tool Telescope Rearward Switch parameter while cycling the tilt/telescope switch between the neutral and TELESCOPE OUT position. The parameter should change between Active and Inactive.
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 5 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM. |
⇒ | If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM. |
