Steering Column Switches Overview
The
steering column switches are located on and around the steering column.
They enable the driver to control various vehicle functions while
remaining focused on driving. The steering column switches consist of:
-
Left multifunction switch - mounted on the left side of the SCCM and is used:
-
to control the turn signals, low/high beam selection and the flash-to-pass feature.
Refer to: Exterior Lighting (417-01 Exterior Lighting)
.
-
Right multifunction switch - mounted on the right side of the SCCM and is used:
-
to control the front windshield wipers/washers, and
the rear window wiper/washer. The right multifunction switch can be
serviced separately from the SCCM .
Refer to: Wipers and Washers (501-16 Wipers and Washers)
.
-
Steering wheel switches - mounted on the front of the
steering wheel and can be serviced separately from the steering wheel.
These are used to access settings and controls displayed in the message
center or for control of the cruise control system, the audio system and
the SYNC® system.
-
For the message center (left upper switch),

The steering column and steering wheel switches interface with other
modules and components on the vehicle through the SCCM , which
communicates on the High Speed Controller Area Network 2 (HS2-CAN).
Conventional Ignition Switch Overview
The
conventional ignition switch is controlled by the ignition lock
cylinder and key. The ignition lock cylinder and ignition switch are
connected mechanically. Turning the ignition lock cylinder places the
ignition switch into the desired position. The available ignition switch
positions are:
When placed in ACC or ON, the ignition switch provides voltage inputs to the BCM .
When placed in START, the ignition switch provides voltage inputs to the BCM and PCM .
Push Button Start Ignition System Overview
The
push button start ignition system is used to place the ignition in the
ON or OFF mode and to start or shut off the vehicle powertrain. The push
button ignition switch is located to the right of the steering wheel in
the instrument panel.
Steering Column Lock System Overview
The
steering column lock deters vehicle theft by locking the steering
column and preventing the steering wheel from being used to turn the
front wheels.

The heated steering wheel system consists of the following components:
-
Steering wheel heater elements (part of steering wheel)
-
Steering wheel temperature sensor (part of steering wheel)
