The heater mat and temperature sensor are connected to a steering wheel heater control module (SWH) integrated in the wiring harness link under the driver airbag.
A heater symbol in the switch is illuminated amber when the steering wheel heater is on. When the HSW is switched off, the symbol is either not illuminated or, if the exterior lighting is on, illuminated white.
