B2880

DTC B2880

Circuit Description
The steering column module determines the position of the steering column based on inputs received from position sensor located in the tilt actuator. The steering column module supplies a 5 volt reference and a ground to the sensor and monitors the column position via a steering column tilt sensor signal circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC
DTC B1327 is not set as current.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
This DTC will set as current when the voltage is greater than 4.8 volts for 2 seconds on the steering column tilt sensor signal circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The steering column module will not allow the affected motor to work during memory recall and/or easy exit operations. However, the motor will still operate for manual switch positioning.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
^ This DTC will clear from current status when the voltage is less than 4.8 volts for 2 seconds.
^ Use a scan tool.

Test Description
The numbers refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
3. Tests for the proper operation of the circuit in the low voltage range.
4. Tests for the proper operation of the circuit in the high voltage range. If the fuse in the jumper opens if you perform this test, the signal circuit is short to ground.
5. Tests for a short to voltage in the 5 volt reference circuit.
6. Tests for a high resistance or for an open in the low reference circuit.
