Steering wheel heating
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW X3, 2016 BMW X3, 2015 BMW X3, 2014 BMW X3, and 2013 BMW X3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The button for the steering wheel heating is installed on the left of the steering column shroud.
The button for steering wheel heating is evaluated by the electronics of the steering-column switch cluster. The electronics in the steering column switch cluster transmit the command to the steering wheel electronics to switch the steering wheel heating on or off via the LIN bus. The steering wheel module switches the steering wheel heating on and monitors its function. The steering wheel heating has an NTC resistor. The purpose of this resistor is to control the temperature of the steering wheel heating. The following graphic shows the button for the steering wheel heating as an example F25.
