SUBJECT
Heated Steering Wheel Not Working, Fault Code 30340 Stored
MODEL
F15
Produced from 7/14/13 to 10/31/13
SITUATION
The LED for the heated steering wheel operation does not light up and the heated steering wheel does not work.
The Body Domain Controller (BDC) has a fault code “30340 Steering column switch center (SZL) (LIN): Internal hardware error” stored.
The fault code entry may be stored on vehicles that are not equipped with option 248 (heated steering wheel).
CAUSE
Software error in the steering column switch center (SZL)
PROCEDURE
Diagnose the vehicle using ISTA to determine if a fault code 30340 is stored in the BDC.
Note: When the ISTA system message displays: Battery voltage only “XX.XX” V. Please connect charger. Please note the displayed battery voltage reading in the repair order comments section.
If the fault code is stored and the vehicle is not equipped with option code 248 (heated steering wheel) disregard the fault.
If the fault is stored and the vehicle is equipped with option code 248, follow the test plan recommendations. The test plan will reset the fault and if the fault re-occurs, will prompt for SZL replacement.
An improved SZL was introduced in 10/31/13.
