B2368
Low Severity (Level 2)Steering Column Switch Circuit Out of Range
B2368 usually means steering Column Switch Circuit Out of Range.
Can you still drive with B2368?
⚠️Short-distance driving is usually OK, but have this diagnosed within a week to prevent further damage.
Typical repair cost: $50 – $600
Severity Level 2 — Low
This code indicates a minor issue that is unlikely to cause immediate driveability problems. You can typically continue driving but should have the vehicle inspected at your earliest convenience.
Common Symptoms
- System performance degrades under specific conditions (temperature, load, etc.)
- Body electronics working sometimes, failing other times
- Body electronics behaving erratically or inconsistently
- Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) stored in module memory
Possible Causes
- Body control module or actuator failing — output signal drifts outside expected range, common with age (80k-120k miles)
- Wiring or connector with intermittent high resistance — causes signal to fluctuate, especially with temperature or vibration
- Mechanical issue with the body control/comfort system causing the sensor/actuator to operate outside its designed range
- Contamination or debris affecting body control module or actuator operation — dirt, oil, or moisture interfering with readings
- Software/calibration issue in the control module — may need reprogramming rather than parts replacement
Common Fixes
- Scan vehicle with a professional-grade OBD2 scanner to read all stored codes and freeze frame data — note the conditions when the code set ($3-126 at shop, free at auto parts store for basic scan)
- Visually inspect the body control/comfort system wiring harness and connectors — look for chafed wires, melted insulation, green corrosion, loose pins, or rodent damage (often free to check yourself, $80 diagnostic fee at shop)
- Replace body control module or actuator — slow degradation over time is the most common cause of range/performance codes, especially on vehicles with 100k+ miles ($50-600)
- Check for vacuum leaks, exhaust leaks, or mechanical issues that could be causing the body control/comfort system to see out-of-range conditions ($120 diagnostic smoke test + repair)
- Update control module software/firmware — some range/performance codes are fixed by a PCM reflash from the dealer ($105 at dealer)
