Clock Spring Inspection

1. Remove the column cover.
2. Remove the driver-side air bag module.










3. Check for continuity between the clock spring terminals by using an ohmmeter.

NOTE: When terminals 3A and 3B are disconnected from the vehicle's main harness, they are shorted to prevent unexpected air bag deployment.
