Power Tilt Steering Column Calibration
Tilt Soft Stops
After replacement of the memory seat module (MSM), tilt motor, or steering column, it is necessary to program the tilt soft stops. Each soft stop is a programmable end of travel that is set approximately 1.3 cm (0.5 in) from the mechanical end of travel. The steering column has a soft stop set at each end of the tilt up/down movement. The system uses soft stops to prevent wear on the system by ensuring that the steering column movement stops before it reaches its mechanical end of travel in any direction. The soft stops are initially programmed at the factory.

3. Select Memory Seat Module.
