    • CUSTOMER REQUESTS THAT DIAGNOSTIC BE PERFORMED
    • TECHNICIAN – Test drove vehicle, inspected operation & found; vehicle drove well, felt a scarping/vibration at times in steering wheel, found it happened in both directions, issue did not change with vehicle speeds. – Scanned computer control modules & found; no related codes. – Inspected & found. Verified scraping feeling is felt in the steering wheel, when happening placed hand on steering column cover, could feel the scarping in the plastic column covers. Checked lower section of column down by gas pedal with stethoscope. Checked a long column with stethoscope. Verified noise happens from the middle section to the top of the column areas. Verified power steering fluid full, no leaks present in power steering system. – Determined there is an internal issue with components inside of the steering column, most likely from the bushings at the top and the middle being worn out and causing the noise, bushings are part of the steering column. The intermediate shaft generally wears out equally with the steering column and should be replaced at the same time as the steering column. The clock spring and plastic components for the air bag generally break during removal for repairs on a vehicle of this age because of brittle plastic and would also need to be replaced during this repair. – Recommends starting with replacing the steering column, intermediate shaft and the clock spring for the air bag. Will need to inspect once components are apart and confirm if there are any other components compromised or related to this issue. Retest after repairs to confirm there are no other related issues. ****Attempted to source parts for theses repairs and found their are no steering columns available with our sources at this time. Dealer stated unknown back order and possible out of production. We are unable to offer a repair for this at this time due to lack of warranty-able parts.***

VSC/ABS MODULE codes; ***1-C1223 for fault in ABS control system ***1-C1246 for fault in master cylinder pressure sensor. Did not attempt to clear these codes as they have not been fault traced.
