A possibility could be the Drive belt inside the rack, could have stretched during the steering wheel being turned with the key off, the strain on the rack with no power assist can cause that. But it’s kid of rare. No way to replace the belt either, a whole rack is needed. It would be great to have the trouble code. Maybe it just needs to be re-centered with GDS.

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..

I will deal with it for now...Is there any chance the code will reset itself?  Would I be able to pull this type of code using my EFILive tuner? (I'll give it a try tomorrow.)

 

Thanks for all your help.

So finally got mine wired to a 10amp switched circuit.  It will now turn on for about two seconds and then turn off.  Anybody had this problem?  I can turn it on over and over for the two seconds so fuse is still good

Thinking higher amperage or just another circuit?  I ran with 16 gauge to pin 27 currently on drivers side fuse block

I think the original fuse for the heated steering wheel is only 7.5 amps

I hooked up my tuner which also doubles as a code reader.  It did not show any type of codes but I did a "clear codes" anyways.  That seemed to resolve the recurring "steering assist reduced" message.  I'm all good now  :)

I could use a high country wheel if anyone is selling one.

Is there an ideal ground post on the drivers side?  I'm thinking my problem is coming from a bad ground.

Remove the door sill/kick panel, there is a factory ground bolt behind.

Don't you have the connector on the wire harness for the heated steering wheel.  The one that is taped over on a wire harness right near the steering column

I couldn't find the connector from the BCM.  I looked where everybody was explaining but couldn't find it so I just wired up 12v from fuse block.

 

Which by the way pin 27 is constant 12v...I've now changed to pin 37 and replaced with a 20amp fuse.  Pin 37 should be switched as stated in the service documentation.

For anyone interested, P/N 13574780 is the number of the mating connector for the heated steering wheel power and ground lead. It's about $10-15 depending where you buy.

      The whole story is false. The screw is there as a temporary fix to allow the pump to even turn on. When the nozzle is returned the pump shuts off.. At this point people are just being punked   https://youtu.be/1DtlaEuHXAA?si=06mrRmw9HLUwdeRk   https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1CyRZdsaSc/ https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1DxV1Hyrqi/       SNOPES: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19HPYUnRik/

      Not exactly what I was hoping for, but I do like it. I wonder if they'll bring back Smokey Quartz Metallic? 🤔 https://gmauthority.com/blog/2026/06/here-is-the-all-new-2027-gmc-sierra-1500/

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.
