Steering Wheel Switches

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Ford Pickup, 2011 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2011 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2011 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The steering wheel switches are mounted directly to the steering wheel and wired to the SCCM  . Depending on what features the vehicle is equipped with, the SCCM  sends messages via the HS-CAN  to the PCM (cruise control), Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) (message center) and BCM  (entertainment system). The BCM  receives the SCCM  entertainment system messages via the HS-CAN  and sends them over the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN), where the messages are received by the applicable entertainment system module(s).
