Prizm L4-108 1.8L DOHC VIN 8 MFI (1998)
Clockspring Assembly / Spiral Cable: Description and Operation
The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil consists of two or more current-carrying coils. The inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil
attaches to the steering column.
Two of the current-carrying coils allow rotation of the steering wheel while maintaining continuous contact of the driver deployment loop to the
inflatable restraint steering wheel module.
There is a shorting bar on the inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil connector. The shorting bar shorts the circuits to the inflatable restraint
steering wheel module coil and inflatable restraint steering wheel module during the disconnection of the yellow 2-way connector. The shorting of the
inflatable restraint steering wheel module coil and inflatable restraint steering wheel module circuitry will help prevent unwanted deployment of the air
bag when servicing the steering column or other SIR system components.
