Circuit Description

An input the steering column lock control module (SCLCM) receives comes from the body control module (BCM) enable relay. When the BCM goes to the off power mode then the low input is sent to the SCLCM.

Conditions for Running the DTC

    • DTCs B1327 or B1328 are not set as current.
    • The condition must be present for 300 ms.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

When the SCLCM is locking the column but no input has been received on the steering column lock enable relay circuit from the BCM.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • Stores a DTC B2907 in the SCLCM memory.
    • Stores a DTC B2907.01 in the BCM memory for a short to battery in the steering column lock enable relay circuit.
    • Stores a DTC B2907.06 in the BCM memory for an open or a short to ground in the steering column lock enable relay circuit.
    • The SCLCM will command the Service Column Lock Now to turn ON in the DIC.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

    • When the SCLCM is locking the column and ground has been received on the steering column lock enable relay circuit for 300 ms.
    • A history DTC will clear after 50 consecutive ignition cycles if the condition for the malfunction is no longer present.
    • Use a scan tool.
