SUPPLEMENTARY RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

11.1.6.2.5. CLOCK SPRING

Clock spring is a spirally wound wire coil (not a slip

ring) mounted to steering column. This single-wire

type contact reel (clock spring) design ensures

most reliable contact possible between air bag

module assembly and SRS ECU. It also provides

the electrical continuity for airbag, horn, vehicle

cruise control and infotainment system.

The clock spring only needs to be replaced when

the connectors that attach to the drivers airbag is

melted and fused directly to the DAB module.

During a deployment the gas conversion creates a

heat exchange inside the DAB module and that

causes connectors to melt.

LOCATION

It is mounted on the steering column along with the

Combi-switch.
