Heated Steering Wheel

The heated steering wheel control module controls the heated steering wheel and the heated steering wheel ON indicator based on an input from the heated steering wheel switch. When the heated steering wheel switch is pressed, the switch signal circuit is pulled to ground. This indicates to the heating steering wheel control module that steering wheel heat is requested. When the request is seen, the heated steering wheel control module supplies ground to the indicator lamp and supplies voltage to the heating elements, which are internal to the steering wheel. The heated steering wheel temperature is monitored through an internal temperature sensor. When the steering wheel reaches operating temperature the module will cycle the voltage on and off to maintain the operating temperature.
