Causes
- Faulty/failed column adjustment switch (position sensor or potentiometer)
- Open, shorted or intermittent wiring between switch and control module
- Corroded or loose connector/terminal at the switch or module
- Mechanical binding or obstruction preventing full column travel
- Blown fuse or poor power/ground to the switch or actuator
- Faulty steering column control module or related module communication error
Symptoms
- Steering column tilt/telescopic adjustment inoperative or intermittent
- Column movement stops before full travel or moves unpredictably
- One or more related warning messages or indicator lamps illuminated
- Stored DTC(s) related to column adjustment or module communication
- Possible loss of steering column memory positions
What to check
- Use a diagnostic scan tool to read B2368, related codes and live data; note freeze‑frame
- Visually inspect column, switch and harness for damage, corrosion or pinched wiring
- Check fuse(s) and relays supplying the column adjustment circuit
- Wiggle test harness and connectors while monitoring live switch/position signal for intermittent changes
- Measure reference voltage, signal voltage and ground at the switch connector with ignition ON
- Command column adjustment via diagnostic tool (if available) and observe actuator response and live signal
Signal parameters
- Position switch typically provides a variable signal (potentiometer or hall sensor) — expected to change smoothly across its travel
- Typical signal voltage range: ~0–5 V (model dependent); no sudden jumps or open/short indications
- Reference supply (if present) usually ~5 V and a good ground; check for continuity to chassis ground
- Diagnostic data may show position values or counts within a defined range — out‑of‑range or erratic values indicate fault
Diagnostic algorithm
- Connect a capable diagnostic scanner, read stored/active DTCs and live data. Record conditions when DTC set.
- Attempt to reproduce the fault by operating the column and observing live position/switch values. Note any intermittent behavior.
- Visually inspect the switch, wiring harness, connectors and column area for damage, corrosion or mechanical obstruction.
- Check fuses/relays related to column adjustment circuits; verify power and ground at the switch connector with ignition ON.
- With backprobe or multimeter, measure reference, signal and ground at the switch while operating the switch. Expect a smooth, continuous change in signal voltage or resistance.
- Perform a wiggle test of the wiring while monitoring the signal to identify intermittent opens/shorts.
- Command the column actuator via the scan tool (if supported) to verify motor/actuator operation and whether the switch follows movement correctly.
- If wiring and power are good but signal is incorrect or noisy, remove and bench‑test or replace the column adjustment switch assembly.
- If switch and wiring are good, check for module software updates, perform module resets and required calibration/teach procedures. Replace module only if bench testing and diagnostics indicate module fault.
- After repair or replacement, clear codes, perform any relearn/calibration, and verify normal operation over multiple cycles.
Likely causes
- Damaged switch or internal wear in the position sensor
- Wiring harness damage or chafing near the column
- Connector corrosion or bent pins at the column harness
- Column actuator/motor failing to reach end stops causing out‑of‑range feedback
- Module software or calibration error requiring a relearn
Fault status
Status
B2368 — Column adjustment switch out of range. The column control module has detected a switch or position signal outside expected limits or inconsistent with actuator movement.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 1-3 hours
