Clockspring Assembly / Spiral Cable: Adjustments

Center Position of Contact Spiral:





The center position of the contact spiral is decisive for the satisfactory function of the airbag and signalling system. When removed, it is guaranteed by the fixing screws.

If however the contact spiral has been turned, e.g.
- when the steering coupling was removed,
- by unscrewing the fixing screws completely,
the center position is to be determined as follows:

1. Screw the fixing screws fully into the contact spiral.
2. Turn contact spiral clockwise until a resistance is detectable.
3. Turn contact spiral approx. 2 - 2.5 rotations anti-clockwise (turn back) until the fixing screws can be unscrewed again and fix the contact spiral.
