Heated steering wheel

Call me curious.

 

I am seeing lots of wheels on ebay... most with the forward warning collision button. Obviously I am after the heated portion which they all have.

 

If I get one with the button, even though my truck doesn't have the system, will it still plug in? I understand I will have a dead button.

 

Thanks

 

I would keep it simple and wait for the right one. Liability issues may come up if some one else is driving the vehicle.

Always figured they were a waste of money. Won't order without it now.

i use mine a lot. it only takes about 3 minutes to get too hot to hold, so i turn it off after that.   its funny how awesome the steering wheel warmer is and how terrible the seat warmers are.

I never thought I'd need a heated steering but now that I have one I would not want to live without it! Truly awesome in Alaskan winters..

Not an option as per GM, but it can easily be added. Just find a steering wheel with the option and buy the correct clock spring. If you are lucky it will be plug and play, if not it is only a ground and run hot wire to the correct fuse.

It was an option in 2014 on my SLT so I don't see why it's not an option anymore...

Might not have been clear enough, the option is available from the factory. Just don't expect the dealer to install it afterwards. They don't seem to believe it can be done.

You must need the power adjustable pedals for that plug to be hot. I plugged mine in and doesn't work. 2016 LT (no power pedals). Guess I'll tap a hot from the fuse box. Just make sure you tap off the correct side of the fuse outlet so the current flows through the fuse

UPDATE: Added a hot wire from fuse box with fuse tap. Works perfect! You can use the Negative wire from the plug so just cut the purple with white line wire and connect to 12v from Heated Steering fuse.

Very cool! I looked up that circuit and it appears to land in the X51L Fuse Panel - Pin #37 in the X2 Connector

I know so you would think it would be plug n play. It would be nice to know why the plug has no power. a specially because the fuse panel has the 7.5 amp fuse in it from factory. makes no sense but I checked it with a meter - no hot just ground. If you find out why let us know must be open somewhere

I'll be calling my Gm buddy tomorrow to price out the wheel and clock spring, looks like the Silverado wheel with heat and without crash warning buttons is not available for some reason, The # 23278626 , Maybe you guys bought them all? lol Does anyone know if #84053917 is a change up part #?

Ordered my parts for this today! I'll update when I get it installed.

Just sold my old steering wheel and clock spring on Ebay for $200 total So it cost me less than $100 to do this mod. AWESOME!

Okay, so my truck has the plug and of course doesn't have power on the VT/WH wire. The ground is there. The fuse is in the left intstrument panel fuse block. The problem is, the wire that leaves the backside of the fuse block does not go to the X201 connector under the dash. The VT/WH wire comes from the X201 to the small connector at the clock spring but doesn't exist from the fuse block TO the X201 connector. To get this as a factory setup. You'd just need the terminal end for the left IP fuse block and the X201 connector terminal 41. The terminal part number for the X201 connector for terminal 41 is 7114-4110-02 YAZAKI. The part number for the fuse block, connector X2 which is Grey, is 19301761 terminated lead. X201 is right above the BCM, Big grey connector with a purple lever I believe. Wire it all up and you're good to go, factory setup running on the factory fuse.

I haven't done it yet. My steering wheel isn't here. But this will work. Guaranteed!

All other wires are there. Just missing the one from the fuse block X2 connector terminal 37 to the X201 connector terminal 41.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Glad that worked, and in this case that is all on Autel for somehow dropping the ball for not updating the GMC section properly.    I believe in the basic section or unless it is in the advanced, when one does a check of lets say individual sensors for what the pressure is ( and it shows a temperature as well ) , I think it picks up on what the model number of the sensor is in a certain section where you choose "OE" sensor or at least mine is telling me what the model number is and matches to what they actually are and that is the number I quoted in a prior post.    I don't recall now if I had said prior that I discovered with my truck anyway that no matter how low I set the placard pressure for the rear tires, if the physical pressure is under 35 psi and I drive it for about 15 miles the pressure warning will come on for one or both rear tires. I am speculating that there is something else in the trucks system that over rides the placard pressure setting once it drops below that minimum pressure to run a metric LT tire at. The weird thing is it does not trigger right away after driving a shorter distance, it took that longer drive for it to trigger. Just something to keep in mind if you were experimenting with pressures below 35 pounds for a tire designed for lower pressures ( larger than stock floatation series tires ) and not being overloaded of course.

      I've seen a scant few YT vids on them, but it's always in a performance application.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      No clue. Service advisor said he'd call me this morning, which I'm 99% sure won't happen. They had the truck 5 days, and I didn't hear a peep. Finally had to call them yesterday. I guess they'd be content to just let the truck sit in perpetuity.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      I had a little bit of time before I left for work this morning, so I plugged the scanner back in, and I selected Chevrolet Silverado instead of GMC Sierra, and the very first option was for a 2026 so I selected that one and I seen at the bottom it had the option for psi change unlike in the 2026 GMC Sierra, I selected that option and it took a little longer than the usual vehicle not supported, and sure enough I got into it, and it let my change the psi values.. I no longer have the low psi warning light!   Thank you for recommending me to try it under Chevrolet instead! I can confirm this device does work for a 2026 GMC Sierra 2500 hd 6.6 diesel  just have to select Chevrolet Silverado instead of GMC Sierra.   Maybe I'll contact Autel and let them know of that issue and maybe they will fix it for the GMC option  because some people probably return the scanner due to it not working under GMC Sierra.
