Spiral Cable Sub-assembly: Ensuring Steering Wheel Functionality

When it comes to ensuring seamless communication between your vehicle's airbag system and steering wheel controls, the spiral cable sub-assembly is indispensable. This component, often known as the clock spring, plays a pivotal role in maintaining safety and convenience during your drive.

Why the Spiral Cable Sub-assembly is Essential

This part is crucial for connecting the electronic components within the steering wheel to the vehicle's main electrical system. It allows the steering wheel to turn freely while maintaining the integrity of the electrical connections.

How the Spiral Cable Sub-assembly Operates

The cable itself is wound like a coil, allowing for continuous electrical connectivity even as the wheel is turned. This ensures that functions such as the horn, airbag deployment system, and steering wheel-mounted controls are consistently operational.

Consequences of a Broken Spiral Cable Sub-assembly

If the spiral cable sub-assembly becomes damaged or broken, drivers may experience loss of crucial functions. Common symptoms include the airbag warning light illuminating on the dashboard, non-functional steering wheel controls, or even failure of the horn. These issues not only encumber normal vehicle operation but can also pose significant safety risks.
