J10 CHECK FOR CORRECT HSWM (HEATED STEERING WHEEL MODULE) OPERATION

Disconnect HSWM C2406.

Inspect for the following and repair as necessary:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary

Connect HSWM C2406.

Reconnect all other previously disconnected connectors. Make sure all connectors are seated and latched correctly.

Ignition ON.

Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear all HSWM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).

Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the HSWM self-test.

Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

Is the concern still present?

Yes	CHECK OASIS for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new HSWM. REFER to: Heated Steering Wheel Module (HSWM) .

No	The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
