The invention relates to a steering wheel arrangement 1 for a vehicle comprising a steering wheel device 2, wherein: the steering wheel device 2 has a steering wheel skeleton 3, a first conductive layer 6 and a second conductive layer 8; an inter-layer capacitor C_Layer_12 is formed between the first conductive layer 6 and the second conductive layer 8; a skeleton capacitor C_Skeleton is formed between the second conductive layer 8 and the steering wheel skeleton 3; the steering wheel skeleton 3 can be and/or is coupled to an earth M of the vehicle via a skeleton connection 13; the inter-layer capacitor C_Layer_12 and the skeleton capacitor C_Skeleton form a capacitive voltage divider for a voltage present at the first conductive layer 6; and a partial voltage can be sensed at the second conductive layer 8. The steering wheel arrangement also comprises an evaluation device 16, wherein the evaluation device 16 is designed to detect the partial voltage at the second conductive layer 8 and, on the basis of the detected partial voltage, assess the skeleton connection 13 to be OK, or not OK.
