Overheating Protection For Steering-Column Adjustment Motors
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 BMW 550i and 2006 BMW 550i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
To protect the motors against overheating, a temperature model is stored in the centre console switch cluster.
The temperature model makes allowance for the warming up and cooling down of the motors.
It is possible to move the steering column in either direction through the range of movement at least 6 times before overheating protection is activated.
