Causes

Open or short in potentiometer signal, reference or ground circuit
Corroded, damaged or loose connector at the tilt potentiometer
Failed/worn potentiometer inside the steering column tilt assembly
Mechanical binding or damage in the tilt mechanism causing abnormal sensor readings
Intermittent wiring harness damage (chafing, broken conductors)
Faulty body/steering control module (less common)

Symptoms

Steering column tilt may not respond or be inoperative
Steering/tilt related warning message or indicator on instrument cluster
Stored B2332 fault and possibly related steering/comfort system faults
Erratic or no change in steering tilt position when commanded
Possible loss of memory position or incorrect tilt position reporting

What to check

Read fault codes and freeze/frame data with a diagnostic scanner; note conditions when fault set
Attempt to operate tilt while watching live data for tilt position PID (look for movement or stable reading)
Visually inspect steering column harness, connectors and tilt motor/sensor for damage, corrosion or water ingress
Wiggle-test wiring while monitoring live data to reveal intermittent faults
Check fuses and related power/ground circuits for continuity

Signal parameters

Typical reference voltage: ~5 V (verify exact value for specific model year)
Expected potentiometer output: variable between ~0.5 V and ~4.5 V depending on tilt position
Expected behavior: smooth, linear change of output as column is moved; no sudden dropouts or jumps
Open-circuit result: no output / infinite resistance when measuring sensor terminals
Short-to-ground: output near 0 V; short-to-battery: output near battery voltage

Diagnostic algorithm

Retrieve all stored codes and freeze frame data. Note whether code is current or historic.
Confirm symptom by attempting tilt operation while viewing live tilt position data with a scan tool.
Perform visual inspection of connectors and wiring at the steering column and tilt motor/sensor. Repair visible damage.
Backprobe the sensor connector. With ignition ON, verify reference voltage (≈5 V) and ground presence at the connector.
Measure the sensor output voltage while moving the tilt. Verify smooth change across range (≈0.5–4.5 V).
If no output or erratic signal, measure resistance across potentiometer terminals (with sensor disconnected) while moving the column to check for open circuits or jumps.
Wiggle the wiring harness and connectors while monitoring signal to identify intermittent faults.
If wiring and connector tests pass but sensor output is out of range or shows non-linear/noisy behavior, replace the tilt feedback potentiometer or the tilt motor/sensor assembly per model procedure.
After repair, clear codes, perform any required steering module/tilt system calibration, and verify operation and that the fault does not return.
If issues persist after sensor replacement, inspect/repair wiring back to the control module and consider module fault testing.

Likely causes

Connector corrosion or water ingress at the tilt sensor
Broken wire or intermittent contact in the harness near the column
Internal wear or failure of the potentiometer element
Tilt motor/mechanism binding causing sensor to move outside normal range
Short to battery or ground on the sensor output or reference
