Steering Column Tilt Wheel and Telescope Control Module Learn

The Steering Column Tilt Wheel and Telescope Control Module Learn procedure must be completed when there is a column malfunction or when the Steering Column Tilt Wheel and Telescope Control Module is replaced.

When a malfunction occurred or replacing the control module 

1. Disconnect the battery. Wait 2 minutes. Reconnect the battery and wait 2 minutes. Ensure that all vehicle systems have powered down after battery reconnect.
2. Ensure battery voltage is greater than 12 V. Start engine if possible.
3. Hold the tilt-down button until the column stops moving and then release.
NOTE:

The following 5 steps must be completed within 3 seconds of the previous step.

4. Press and hold the tilt-down button for 5 to 8 seconds and then release. If the button press is not between 5 and 8 seconds, restart this step. A stopwatch may be needed.
5. Firmly press and release the telescope-in button.
6. Firmly press and release the tilt-up button.
7. Firmly press and release the telescope-out button.
8. Firmly press and release the tilt-down button.
9. The column should begin to move on its own to learn its soft-stop positions. Do not  press any buttons or operate any vehicle functions while the column is moving as the relearn sequence will be cancelled.
10. If the column does not begin to move on its own, attempt steps 3 through 8. Three attempts may be required. Ensure that button timing and sequence is correct. If column still does not begin to move, attempt steps 1 through 8 again.
11. If the column tilt and telescope does not function, replace the appropriate component as follows:
    • If the Steering Column Tilt Wheel and Telescope Control Module has not been replaced previously, replace the module. Refer to: Control Module References
    • If the control module has already been replaced, replace the steering column. Refer to: Steering Column Replacement (N37) Steering Column Replacement (N38)
