Steering Column Control Module (SCCM)

The SCCM (Steering Column Control Module) is attached to the steering column, behind the steering wheel. The SCCM (Steering Column Control Module) receives inputs from the following items and then controls the output directly or transmits the information as messages on either the HS-CAN (High Speed Controller Area Network) or the LIN (Local Interconnect Network).
- Multifunction switch
- Pedal adjust switch
- Steering wheel rotation sensor
- Steering wheel switches
- Wiper washer switch

The SCCM (Steering Column Control Module) also provides a "pass-through" circuit path for various components and/or features:
- Driver air bag module
- Horn
- Steering wheel switch illumination

The SCCM (Steering Column Control Module) monitors all of the inputs it receives and is capable of setting DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes).

Wiper and Washer Switch

The wiper and washer switch is a multiple position switch controlled by a lever. The wiper and washer switch controls the front windshield wipers, front windshield washers, rear window wiper and rear washer.

For additional information on the front wipers and washers, REFER to Wipers and Washers - Front .

For additional information on the rear wiper and washer, REFER to Wipers and Washers - Rear .
