Heated Steering Wheel
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the engine is running and the SCCM receives a request to heat the steering wheel, the SCCM applies voltage and ground to the steering wheel heating elements (integral to the steering wheel) to heat the steering wheel to a temperature of approximately 82-94°F (28-34°C). The heated steering wheel temperature is maintained by the SCCM using a temperature sensor in the steering wheel.
The SCCM is designed to remain on, heating the steering wheel and maintaining the temperature until switched off on the FDIM or the ignition is turned off.
The controls and indicators for the heated steering wheel system are located on the FDIM (touchscreen) only. The FDIM does not communicate on any network and is connected directly to the APIM.
