Clockspring Assembly / Spiral Cable: Description and Operation
INFLATABLE RESTRAINT STEERING WHEEL MODULE COIL
The steering wheel module coil is attached to the steering column and is located under the steering wheel. The steering wheel module coil consists of 2
or more current-carrying coils. The coils allow the rotation of the steering wheel while maintaining continuous electrical contact between the driver
deployment loop and the steering wheel module. Four coil wires are used for the steering wheel module deployment loop. Additional coil wires are used
for accessories attached to the steering wheel depending on the vehicle model. The steering wheel module coil connector is located near the base of the
steering column. The connector contains a shorting bar that shorts the steering wheel module coil deployment loop circuitry to prevent unwanted
deployment of the air bag when it is disconnected.
