Adding Heated Steering Wheel - Need VIN

[Amaster]

For people who need an answer, I plugged the power source for heated steering wheel to BCM under the drive side dash. I will try to post some pics later today.
I tried one spot with a spade connector first and it wasn't getting enough power for heat will turn on and then off on the steering wheel. I found another spot using test light and this one seems to work better. I haven't done a long term test on a long drive, but it didn't turn off like the first time. Do not use the fuse box. Use the BCM under the dash that is RAP or only on when car is on.

BTW if you need a pic of box he's talking about I can shoot one real fast I have my cover off at the moment

Thanks!

You’re welcome. My spade connector is too big but it gets the job done. Just make sure you make it tight on there Abs you should be good

That's the upfitter box.

I used it to wire my dash cam. I was able to get ground, constant power, ignition switched power, and RAP (retained accessory power) from there.

Mind sharing a picture of your setup when you get a chance please?

Hey noob quick question what clock spring did you use genuine parts clock spring or something else.

 

[noobsquared]

Hey Amaster, I ended up getting the harness like an idiot but you only need that clock spring that has the wire for heated steering wheel.
Harness doesn't do anything since BCM is not programmed to even recognize the wires for heated steering wheel through the harness.

Any idea where this hooks up to?

It is coming from the clock spring. Brown needs power and black needs ground

 

[Amaster]

Yes is there a plug underneath the dash? Cause if so where is at? I thought it would plug and play. I thought the wheel you got didn't have the harness?

 

[noobsquared]

No. If your Tahoe didn’t come with heated wheel, you won’t have that plug coming out of BCM. You need to find your own power. I gave it power from the module underneath the dash. Pic is attached a few posts ago

Alright so I finally got my clockspring and steering wheel in. Everything buttoned up as it should be with the exception of the power and ground for the heated steering piece but I'm now getting a service air bag DTC.

B0012:0E and B0013:0E.

Driver frontal deployment loop resistance low and driver frontal deployment loop (stage 2) resistance low.

Any suggestions?

Point to note I've got a 2013 Yukon XL and these parts came out of an 07 Yukon Denali if that makes a difference. Noticed the airbag connectors are different but I also installed the airbag out of the 07 since my 13 airbag didn't connect

I figured it out for anyone looking for a solution. Apparently my dumb a forgot to press the white clip at the back of the connectors behind airbag. So if you don't press them in, you will get error codes. Took the airbag out, and pressed those white locks in and everything works now except for heated steering wheel button. Off to work on providing power to it then. Not sure why I changed the harness when I have to supply it power from somewhere else

Hey noob been a while but I just did this on my 11 yukon everything works. I'm just having a little trouble with a airbag code b00012 and 13 do you remember what yours was?

Nevermind I figured it out. I forgot to reinstall the little plastic clip on the pink connector. Then forgot to push in the other one

How did you connect the wire to the coil at the steering wheel? I've had zero luck finding that green plug

Clip the green connector off, brown wire goes to 12 volts, black ground. If you have a Yukon you should have the heated steering wheel plug port down in the upfitter box.

Thank you. I have an 08 avalanche so I'm not sure if I have that plug
