Did you perform the Vehicle Diagnostic System Check?

Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information

Verify the condition is present.

Does the system operate normally?

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems

Go to Step 3

1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
2. Observe the Telescope Forward Switch and Telescope Rearward Switch data parameters with a scan tool.
3. Actuate the telescope forward switch and telescope rearward switch.

Do the Telescope Forward Switch and Telescope Rearward Switch Data parameters change with each switch actuation?

Go to Step 5

Go to Step 4

1. Disconnect the driver position module (DPM) C2 connector.
2. Probe the telescope in circuit and the telescope out circuit with a test lamp connected to a good ground.
3. Actuate the telescope forward switch and telescope rearward switch.

Does the test lamp illuminate for both circuits?

Go to Step 10

Go to Step 7

1. Disconnect the telescoping drive motor connector.
2. Connect a test lamp between the forward telescope motor control circuit and the reverse telescope motor control circuit.
3. Actuate the telescope forward switch and telescope rearward switch.

Does the test lamp illuminate for both directions?

Go to Step 9

Go to Step 6

Test the telescope actuator circuits for an open or short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 15

Go to Step 10

Test the telescope switch in, out, and voltage supply circuits for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 15

Go to Step 8

Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the telescoping actuator switch. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 15

Go to Step 11

Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the telescope actuator. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 15

Go to Step 12

Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the DPM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 15

Go to Step 13

Replace the telescope switch. Refer to Telescope Actuator Switch Replacement .

Did you complete the replacement?

Go to Step 15

--

Replace the telescoping drive motor. Refer to Telescope Actuator Assembly Replacement .

Did you complete the replacement?

Go to Step 14

--

Replace the DPM. Refer to Memory Seat Control Module Replacement in Seats.

Did you complete the replacement?

Go to Step 14

--

Perform the telescope steering column calibration. Refer to Telescoping Steering Column Calibration .

Did you complete the action?

Go to Step 15

--

Operate the system in order to verify the repair.

Did you correct the condition?

System OK

Go to Step 3
