PINPOINT TEST L : C0051:16 or C0051:17

  1. L1 CHECK FOR SCCM DTCs

    • Using a scan tool, perform SCCM self-test.
    • Record all SCCM DTCs.

    Is DTC B11D9:16 and/or B11D9:17 present? 

    Yes  For DTC B11D9:16, GO to Pinpoint Test M . For DTC B11D9:17, GO to Pinpoint Test N .
    No  GO to  L2.
  2. L2 CHECK THE STEERING WHEEL ANGLE SENSOR STATUS (SW_ANG_SENS) PID

    • Using a scan tool, view SCCM PIDs.
    • Monitor the SCCM PID SW_ANG_SENS.

    Does the PID display CORRECT? 

    Yes  The condition that caused the DTC to set is not present at this time. CLEAR the DTCs. DRIVE the vehicle for more than 1 minute at a speed greater than 32 kmh (19.9 mph) and make at least 1 left turn and 1 right turn. If the DTCs do not return, RETURN the vehicle to the customer. If the DTCs return, GO to  L3.

    • Repair:
      • corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
    • Reconnect the SCCM connectors and all previously disconnected exterior system connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSBs. If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, INSTALL a new SCCM. REFER to Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) .
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
