Air Bag Sliding Contact: Description and Operation
The steering column assembly is an energy-absorbing type. It has two breakaway mounting points (capsules) molded into the column casting and a
bendstrap that allows controlled downward movement of the steering column and wheel upon impact.
The air bag sliding contact is mounted on the steering column, behind the steering wheel. The air bag sliding contact continuously transfers electrical
signals from the steering column wire harness to the contact in the steering wheel for the supplemental air bag restraint system to the impact sensors.
