Clockspring Assembly / Spiral Cable: Testing and Inspection

CLOCK SPRING CHECK







If any malfunction is found in the following inspections, replace the clock spring with a new one.
1. Check the connectors and protective tube for damage, and the terminals for deformation.
2. Visually check the case for damage.
3. Check to see that there is a charge (continuity) between the C-204 clock spring connector terminal and C-203 horn switch.







CAUTION: Do not directly insert a probe, etc. into the terminal from the front of the connector.

4. Insert the special tool (MB991222) from behind the air-bag module connector of the C-201 driver's seat.
5. As shown in the Figure, connect the circuit tester to the special tool (MB991222) and check to see that there is a charge between the terminals.
