Inspection

• For tilt/extend-retract motors and sensors inspection,
refer to the Driving Position Memory System (DPMS)
in the section 23.
• Check the steering column bail bearing and the steering
joint bearings for play and proper movement. If there is
noisy or if there is excessive play, replace the steering
column as an assembly.
• Check the retaining collars for damage. If they are dam-
aged, replace the retaining collars.
• Check the absorbing plates, absorbing plate guides
and sliding capsules for distortion and breakage.
Replace the steering column as an assembly if they
are distorted or broken.
