SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
The customer may experience a click-like sound coming from the Steering Column Module (SCM). The click sound will occur when the turn signals are
not in use and the steering wheel is turned to the left or to the right. The click sound may be caused by light contact between the cancel cam in the SCM
as it passes by the release lever for the turn signal module.
NOTE:
The SCM assembly should not be replaced to correct this condition. Replace only the cancel cam (ring).
DIAGNOSIS:

Start the vehicle engine. Turn off the radio and HVAC system.

Center the steering wheel. Verify that the turn signal lever is in the neutral/cancelled position.
3.
Slowly rotate the steering wheel at least 180 degrees to the left.

8.
If contact can be felt in the turn signal stalk/arm at the same time as a click-like sound occurs, then perform the Repair Procedure.
