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.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
