Steering Effort Control Module (SECM) (vehicles equipped with adaptive steering)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The SECM controls the steering wheel heating elements. The SECM uses the steering wheel temperature sensor to maintain the steering wheel temperature. The SECM is designed to remain on, heating the steering wheel and maintaining temperature until switched off using the FDIM or the ignition is turned off.
The SECM cannot be serviced independently. It is only replaced as an assembly with the steering wheel.
The SECM requires PMI when replaced.
