Heated Steering Wheel Icon on Screen is a lower-risk, convenience-oriented change for 2015–2026 Ford F-150 trucks, applied with FORScan over an OBD-II adapter. Shows heated steering wheel control on home and climate screen. It is fully reversible and typically takes about 5 minutes to write once your worksheet is in hand.
The change touches the Accessory Protocol Interface Module (SYNC) (APIM), and your F-Config worksheet lists all 1 as-built code row with the module, address, and target value. Each row includes a blank for your original value so you can back up before writing changes and roll back later. Quick access to heated wheel from main screen.
