HSWM DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
| DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| B135C:11 | Heater Element: Circuit Short to Ground | Sets when the heated steering wheel is commanded on and the HSWM senses current greater than 10 amps from the steering wheel heating element output circuit, indicating a short to ground or when the steering wheel heating element output Field Effect Transistor (FET) in the HSWM has a thermal failure. When this fault sets, the steering wheel heating element output is disabled until the ignition is cycled. |
| B135C:15 | Heater Element: Circuit Short to Battery or Open | Sets when the heated steering wheel is commanded on and the module senses current less than 1 amp from the steering wheel heating element output circuit. This indicates a short to voltage, an open circuit or an open in the heating element. When this fault sets, the steering wheel heating element output is disabled until the ignition is cycled. |
Possible Causes
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Steering wheel
- Clockspring
- HSWM
