2024 Heated Steering Wheel Works Poorly

[Crow68]

I was going to be THAT GUY to increase the temperature value on my 2024 Raptor. However…on my Raptor…the SCCM values posted do not match up with what I’m seeing in FORScan. My values: 724-02-01 to 724-02-10. Because of the discrepancy…I made no changes. Perhaps @Crow68 or someone else can enlighten me on the values that pertain to a MY24 Rap.

Hey RaptorFun-

I tried to get some info for you. Looks like for the 2024 MY, Ford moved the adjustment to a new module called SECM-7C5 (Steering Effort Control Module). Here is a link to a spreadsheet that looks like the correct info for your rig.

I will try to link you to the exact spot in the document but if it shows up weird you can go right to the link. When you click on this link, if you look at the very very bottom, you will see all of the modules listed on one line at the bottom. You can take your mouse or your finger if you’re on an iPad or phone, and scroll until you get to the SECM-7C5 module and then go down to line #56 where the steering wheel temperatures begin - SECM-7C5 Line 56 is low, line 57 is medium, and 58 is high temperature. (These are noted in Celsius)

Also, below that you will see lines 60 to 64 that will allow you to change how many minutes you want your steering wheel to stay hot before it automatically turns off. You can also set it to stay on if you would like.

Good luck brother - If I can help you with anything else, let me know!

Good morning, I get the same effect by rubbing mine a few times.”

You do, huh? lol. Mine takes quite a lot of rubbing and tugging to get that effect.

Hey @Crow68 … I’m not a novice when it comes to using FORScan but…not sure I want to tackle this until someone with more FORScan knowledge than me comes along.

When I launch FORScan and all of my Rap’s modules are scanned…SECM is not one of them. Not sure where to find it. It certainly is not a module I backed up.

Also…I see in the additional information you provided…a huge thank you for that…the timeout values but not an array of values I need to make the edit(s) for the temperature change.

I certainly want to increase the temp of my steering wheel but…I’m going to wait on the sidelines for now until my concerns are addressed.

Hey RaptorFun-

You are on the right track. I would wait on the sidelines just like you said, until some guru knows exactly how to configure that properly. It seems like Ford made some pretty large modifications to the locations of certain modules, etc. for the new 24MY trucks! In the meantime, I will keep an eye out for the “Canary in the Forscan coal mine” for you… If I see anything with specific details that might help you, I will forward them over to you:::::

Are you on the latest version of FORScan? If so, try saying no when it asks if you want to reuse your existing profile

 

[RaptorFun]

I’m probably no longer using the latest flavor of FORScan but…it was when I used it shortly after I purchased my 24MY Raptor back in April. It was basically a beta version.

I always click on “No” when FORScan asks if I want to reuse my existing profile.

Thanks to @Crow68 and @blwn for your assistance!

Hey RaptorFun-

Looks like @hamster is the Forscan guru you were looking for! I just saw his awesome post with the details you need for your heated steering wheel. Just in case you have not seen it yet.

I think it is post #1180

GEN3 Forscan

Hello, I did this change but I still only have coolant temp and trans temp at the top. Oil temperature is just a needle without any values below it. Did anyone face a similar issue and got it to work? This is for MY23 Edit: I found another change in the spreadsheet in 720-07-01 xxxx-xxx4-xx...

Yep! I’m right on it! Actively working on it now.

Ran into a licensing issue…Grrrr. Will report back when I get that resolved.

I can confirm @hamster is in fact a FORScan guru! The information he provided allowed me to increase the temperature setting on my heated steering wheel to 102.2 degrees. The default setting on my 24MY Raptor was 95 degrees.

No guru....just read tons of posts here and on F150 forum and take good notes.
