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.

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
