Steering Roll Connector

The steering roll connector is in between the steering column and the steering wheel, and contains a spirally wound flat cable.

The flat cable maintains connection between the airbag module on the steering wheel and the air-bag harness even when the steering wheel is turned. Ignition signal from the airbag control module is sent through the roll connector to the driver's seat airbag module.
