Component Description: HSWM

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The HSWM controls the steering wheel heating elements. It is located in the instrument panel behind the steering column opening trim panel and can be serviced separately. The HSWM uses the steering wheel temperature sensor to maintain the temperature of the steering wheel. The HSWM is designed to remain on, heating the steering wheel and maintaining temperature until switched off on the FDIM or the ignition is turned off. The HSWM requires PMI when replaced.
