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 two
or more current-carrying coils. The coils allow the rotation of the steering wheel while maintaining continuous electrical contact between the steering
wheel module deployment loop and the steering wheel module. Two coil wires are used for the steering wheel module deployment loop. Additional coil
wires are used for accessories that are 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 steering wheel module when the connector is disconnected.
