Warning! Under no circumstances use an ohmmeter or other live measuring instrument to take readings on a disconnected non-deployed adaptive steering column. The adaptive steering column could deploy!
Caution! Do not touch the terminal pins in the supplemental restraint system module (SRS). There is a risk of static discharge. This could damage the supplemental restraint system module (SRS).
- Check cables and terminals if the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is intermittent. Remedy as necessary and select alternative 1 at the bottom
- If the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is permanent, continue fault-tracing
- Switch off the ignition. Wait 10 seconds
- Disconnect the connector from the adaptive steering column
- Connect a special tool to the connector (to the ignition cable). To carry out this procedure, use: 951 1506 Test dummy 951 1506 Test Dummy
Note! The special tool must be checked and fault-free. If the special tool is faulty, the diagnostic readings will be incorrect. This will make fault-tracing harder.
- Switch on the ignition. Wait 10 seconds.
Read diagnostic trouble codes by clicking the VCT2000 symbol.
If the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) changes status from a permanent to an intermittent fault, replace the adaptive steering column and select alternative 1 at the bottom.
If the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is still permanent, select alternative 2 at the bottom.

Checking the component and wiring
- Switch off the ignition. Wait 10 seconds
- Disconnect the special tool from the connector
- Disconnect the connectors from the supplemental restraint system module (SRS).
Warning! Under no circumstances use an ohmmeter or other live measuring instrument to take readings on a disconnected non-deployed adaptive steering column. The adaptive steering column could deploy!
Caution! Do not touch the terminal pins in the supplemental restraint system module (SRS). There is a risk of static discharge. This could damage the supplemental restraint system module (SRS).
Check the connectors for the adaptive steering column and the supplemental restraint system module (SRS). Check for contact resistance. Check for oxidation. Check for loose connections:
Remedy as necessary.
Check the SRS ignition cables between the supplemental restraint system module (SRS) and the adaptive steering column connector. Check for an open-circuit.
Check the cable between:
- Supplemental restraint system module (SRS) terminal #B13 and the connector for the adaptive steering column terminal #1
- Supplemental restraint system module (SRS) terminal #B14 and the connector for the adaptive steering column terminal #2.
Remedy as necessary.

Hint: After carrying out the repair check that the fault has been remedied.
- Switch off the ignition. Wait 10 seconds
- Disconnect the battery negative lead
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Ignition on
- Connect the battery negative lead. Wait 10 seconds.
Warning! There must not be anyone inside the passenger compartment when the battery is connected.
Read diagnostic trouble codes by clicking the VCT2000 symbol.
If the fault is intermittent, the fault has been remedied.
