Pinpoint Test A: Adjustable Brake Pedal is Inoperative/Does Not Operate Correctly - Using the Adjustable Pedal Switch
Normal Operation
The Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) receives fused battery voltage from Body Control Module (BCM) fuse.
When the adjustable pedal switch is pressed in the forward position (away from the driver), the SCCM (Steering Column Control Module) sends current to the adjustable pedal motor along one circuit and the current returns to the SCCM (Steering Column Control Module) along another circuit which is grounded through the SCCM (Steering Column Control Module).
When the adjustable pedal switch is pressed in the rearward position (toward the driver), the SCCM (Steering Column Control Module) reverses the polarity, sending current to the adjustable pedal motor along the circuit that was the return circuit then the switch was pressed in the forward position. Similarly, the current returns to the SCCM (Steering Column Control Module) along the circuit that was the supply circuit then the switch was pressed in the forward position.
- DTC B137D:18 (Pedal Adjustment Motor: Circuit Current Below Threshold)- This DTC sets if the SCCM (Steering Column Control Module) senses current flow to the adjustable pedal motor below a preset limit while the adjustable pedal switch is pressed, or if there is an open or high resistance in the adjustable pedal motor circuits.
- DTC B137D:19 (Pedal Adjustment Motor: Circuit Current Above Threshold)- This DTC sets if the SCCM (Steering Column Control Module) senses current flow to the adjustable pedal motor above a preset limit while the adjustable pedal switch is pressed, or if there is a short to ground in the adjustable pedal motor circuits.
- DTC B137D:71 (Pedal Adjustment Motor: Actuator Stuck)- This DTC sets if the SCCM (Steering Column Control Module) senses current flow to the adjustable pedal motor within a specific range but above a preset limit while the adjustable pedal switch is pressed.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Fuse
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
