Telescoping Steering Column Calibration

Telescoping Soft Stops

After replacement of the driver position module (DPM) or the telescope actuator, the hard stops are established by physical stops on the telescoping column. 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 either direction. If the motor is driven to a stall, a soft stop will be set within 2 seconds.

Telescoping Soft Stop Setup Procedure

1. Install a scan tool

2. Turn ON the ignition.

3. Navigate to the Driver Position Module and select Special Functions.

4. Select Column Calibration and follow the on screen instructions.

Refer to Memory Seat Control Module Programming and Setup Testing and Inspection if the DPM was replaced.
