Component Testing: CLOCKSPRING

If clockspring fails any check, replace with a NEW clockspring.

1. Check connectors and protective tube for damage and deformities.
2. Visually check case for damage or deformities.
3. Continuity should be present between:
   • Connector No. 1, terminal No. 1 and connector No. 4, terminal No. 2
   • Connector No. 1, terminal No. 2 and connector No. 4, terminal No. 1
   • Connector No. 1, terminal No. 3 and connector No. 3. SeeFig 1.
4. Join connector No. 2 and connector No. 5 of clockspring to connector No. 4 and connector No. 3, respectively, of SRS harness. See Fig 1 and Fig 2. Using a DVOM, check for continuity between terminals No. 1 and 22, and then terminals No. 2 and 21 of SRS check harness connector No. 5. SeeFig 2.
