DTC Description Action
B1298:24 Steering Column Adjust Up Switch: Signal Stuck High
NOTE: The SCCM continually monitors the steering column control switch input. With battery voltage between 10 and 15.5 volts and with the ignition set to ON, if the SCCM receives switch input for more than 2 minutes, a DTC is set.
INSTALL a new steering column control switch. REFER to: Steering Column Control Switch . CLEAR the SCCM and DSM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Using a diagnostic scan tool, CARRY OUT a SCCM self-test. If DTC B1298:24 returns, INSTALL a new SCCM. REFER to: Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) .
B1299:24 Steering Column Adjust Down Switch: Signal Stuck High
NOTE: The SCCM continually monitors the steering column control switch input. With battery voltage between 10 and 15.5 volts and with the ignition set to ON, if the SCCM receives switch input for more than 2 minutes, a DTC is set.
INSTALL a new steering column control switch. REFER to: Steering Column Control Switch . CLEAR the SCCM and DSM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Using a diagnostic scan tool, CARRY OUT a SCCM self-test. If DTC B1299:24 returns, INSTALL a new SCCM. REFER to: Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) .
B12A1:24 Steering Column Adjust Out Switch: Signal Stuck High
NOTE: The SCCM continually monitors the steering column control switch input. With battery voltage between 10 and 15.5 volts and with the ignition set to ON, if the SCCM receives switch input for more than 2 minutes, a DTC is set.
INSTALL a new steering column control switch. REFER to: Steering Column Control Switch . CLEAR the SCCM and DSM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Using a diagnostic scan tool, CARRY OUT a SCCM self-test. If DTC B12A1:24 returns, INSTALL a new SCCM. REFER to: Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) .
B12A2:24 Steering Column Adjust In Switch: Signal Stuck High
NOTE: The SCCM continually monitors the steering column control switch input. With battery voltage between 10 and 15.5 volts and with the ignition set to ON, if the SCCM receives switch input for more than 2 minutes, a DTC is set.

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
