2024 Heated Steering Wheel Works Poorly

[cog099]

Good morning, anybody out there with the 2024 raptor with the heated steering wheel noticed that it doesn’t seem to get very warm at all? I had a 21 King Ranch powerboost and that thing worked great. The first time I use my heated steering wheel, I didn’t even think it was working, I realize now it works, but the increases to in temperature is not very noticeable.

I guess the frustrating thing is that I am expecting the dealership is going to say "Yep it works!" even though I could get the same effect by rubbing my steering wheel a few times.

Yeah I noticed that too on my 24.

What temperature are you testing it at? If its not very cold it might not be noticeable. The 23 wheel couldn't hardly tell it was working at times. I haven't tested the 24 truck yet but doubt its very warm.

Hey cog099-

I had this same issue on my Super Duty, and my Raptor. I went into the SCCM (steering column control module) in Forscan and tweaked some digits and it worked for me. I cranked er’ up to 100° to give it a try. It’s TOASTY when its freezing! I won’t have a rig without it anymore. I don’t smoke, but you could probably light a smoke off of that sucker. Lol

Ford “seems” to stick with the same temperature values across the F-Series. You might take a peek at your SCCM “as-built” values in your SCCM. Just a 10 minute job.

The Forscan values should look something like this in your SCCM -

714-02-01: 0244 4444 xx - Wheel Temperature = 68ºF
714-02-01: 024C 4C4C xx - Wheel Temperature = 76ºF
714-02-01: 0254 5454 xx - Wheel Temperature = 84ºF
714-02-01: 0258 5858 xx - Wheel Temperature = 88ºF
714-02-01: 025A 5A5A xx - Wheel Temperature = 90ºF
714-02-01: 025C 5C5C xx - Wheel Temperature = 92ºF
714-02-01: 025E 5A5E xx - Wheel Temperature = 94ºF
714-02-01: 0264 6464 xx - Wheel Temperature = 100ºF

When I had my Carbon wheel built, that was a MUST. When I installed my new carbon wheel, It gets just as warm.

Winter is a’ coming. Good luck!

Awesome! Thanks for the tip. I'll update after I try the Forscan mod.

Sounds good! It should be interesting to see how they had it set-up (temperature wise).

Saw this thread and thought I would give my heated steering wheel a try. I can also confirm that my '24 is not as warm as my '22. I'm going to stand by and see what everyone else does before making any changes, as it's also not really cold here yet.

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.

 

[RaptorFun]

Hey @Crow68…is it possible the 714-02-01 values reside in a different module?

After further investigation the SCCM module…at least on MY21-24 Raptors contain 724-02-xx values.

The elements are only in 4 spots of the steering wheel however. My old JL wrangler had heat full circle. Points off for the spotty heat!
