Steering Column Control Module (SCCM)

REMOVAL 

1. Place the front wheels in the straight-ahead position and inhibit the steering column shaft from rotating.
2. Lower the steering column to its lowest position.
   NOTE: If the Steering Column Control Module SCCM is to be reused, be certain that the spring-activated clockspring lock has extended upward following steering wheel removal to lock the clockspring rotor and maintain clockspring centering until the steering wheel is installed on the steering column. Do not manually compress the clockspring lock while the SCCM is removed from the steering column as this may result in the loss of clockspring centering. If clockspring centering is not maintained, the SCCM must be replaced with a new unit before the steering wheel is installed.
3. Remove the steering wheel. Refer to WHEEL, STEERING, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
4. Remove the steering column upper shroud. Refer to UPPER SHROUD  .
5. Remove the SCCM bracket screws and position the bracket away from the SCCM.

INSTALLATION 

Follow the removal procedure in reverse for general reassembly of the components on the vehicle. The steps listed below are calling out specific procedures that should be followed during installation.

• A service replacement SCCM is shipped with the clockspring centered and with a molded plastic lock installed. This lock must not be broken off until the SCCM has been installed on the steering column.
• Break off the lock tab if a new SCCM is being installed.
• After installation, a PROXI alignment is required for certain features related to the SCCM. Using the scan tool, go to "Guided Diagnostics" then "Restore Vehicle Configuration", follow the on-screen prompts.
