Steering Wheel Module: CLOCKSPRING
The clockspring is a rotary coupling that provides the electrical connection between the fixed steering wheel module, and the steering wheel mounted controls and Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) driver's airbag.
A colored indicator is provided within the clockspring and is visible through a transparent perspex cover when the steering wheel is removed, and the steering angle sensor is aligned to the central position. The indicator makes sure the steering angle sensor and steering system are correctly aligned following repairs to the steering mechanism.
