Symptom 5A



DTC B2880 (Symptom 5A)

Circuit Description

The driver position module (DPM) determines the position of the steering column based on inputs received from position sensors built into the tilt actuator. The DPM supplies a 5-volt reference and a ground to the sensor and monitors the column position via the tilt sensor signal circuit. The DPM expects the voltage on the tilt sensor signal circuit to be within a certain range of what the voltage was previously. If the voltage on the tilt sensor circuit changes by a large amount in a short time, DTC B2880 5A may set.
