DIY: How to Add Heated Steering Wheel to an XL Maverick

Will need to enable Heated steering wheel with Forscan. I will Post tomorrow the captures screen of the process . i hope this help feel free to ask any question if needed.

Parts Needed for heated Steering wheel

Ford Escape or Maverick that comes with heated wheel .

Steering Control module theres 3 diffrent ones for the Ford Maverick you will need to buy the one thats its on back order lol . i could not wait so i bought the one with lane assist.

Part number for Steering Control Module with clock spring . NZ6Z-3F791-DA WITH LANE ASSIST '''

Connector for Steering Control Module for power and Fuse

C226B THATS THE CONECTOR NUMBER
PART NUMBER ITS 3U2Z-14S411-CAA WPT - 404
Terminal for wire harness from steering control module to lower floor connector.

DU2Z-14474-DA part number for terminal that goes to footwell

Heres some pictures of the procces of steering wheel removal. Make sure disconnect the negative battery terminal before messing with air bags.

























Ok Heated conversion wiring diagram time !!

as you can see the 22 XL doesnt come with this connector.



C226B THATS THE CONECTOR NUMBER
PART NUMBER ITS 3U2Z-14S411-CAA WPT - 404





So this wires one needs to go under the floor circuit 160 pin 2 wich its power from fuse box wire its Yellow Green .

Pin 1 its just Ground theres a area next to the instrument cluster where you can install it and theres one next to the dashboard chassis on the driver side.

Heres and example on where to harness will be installed behind the steering wheel control module.





You will need to install a terminal on the female side connector on the bottom of the foot rest pad. its the one that says 3873 on the picture below.




it will be Pin 38 on the bottom connector.



PART NUMER OF TERMINAL THAT WILL BE NEEDED TO INSTALL ON CONECTOR I FOUND DU2Z-14474-DA .



DIAGRAM IM USING FOR HEATED STEERING WHEEL



Good news for anyone that has an XL version of our truck all you need its the Steering Control Module and add the harness that i made and enable it with forscan. The Steering Control Module comes with the Clockspring and switches. The one i was looking for with out the lane keep avoidence switch was on back order so i got this one and works great. Heres some pictures i will move them around later in order.

Is changing the climate controls part of this or just something else you are doing? Nice work!

That's quite the project. Why couldn't all of the parts needed be used from the donor vehicle? (the one where you got the steering wheel)

The climate control was not needed to be changed . Its something im doing additional. And wanted to confirm its was working even though you can feel it on the wheel lol. And thank you

I bought a Ford Fiesta Steering Wheel from UK . On ebay. I tried using ebay parts and they where broken so i decided to buy it new.

You have way better skills than I do to perform that. Good job!

If the climate control isn't changed, how is the heated wheel turned on/off?

Would you mind going through the forscan settings you used/modified? I'm interested in knowing whether or not you're able to modify the duration and temperature. Thanks!

Fuse 160 15 amp . Shows that will only power when the ignition its on Run. The steering control module lets you adjust temperature on the heated element. This its how its from Ford Originaly made with the ones that came with the heated steering wheel from factory.

I enable it on the SCCM , IPC , ACM , and BCM and HVAC I thought and belived i had seen it where you could control the time i
But i cant find it. But i did find the temperature adjustment.

I noticed that my st steering wheel that I bought for my xl has extra wiring compared to yours at the bottom that plugs into underneath where the main bolt is for the steering wheel. I assumed it was just for the heated steering wheel and thought I wouldnt be able to use it so I cut the cables before even seeing what would happen if I plugged it in. Do you know what that plug is for?

Finally, I understand the meaning of the term reinvent the wheel.

Thats for the heated steering wheel . Thats the cable that feeds power and ground to the element.
