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.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.

      Needing this part.

      By davester · Posted

      I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.
