Clockspring Assembly / Spiral Cable: Testing and Inspection

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM: SPIRAL CABLE: INSPECTION

1. INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE





(a) Check the spiral cable.

(1) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.

1 Set the spiral cable in the center, and measure the resistance in each position where the spiral cable is turned 2.5 times clockwise and counterclockwise.

2 Turn the spiral cable 2.5 times clockwise from its original position and measure the resistance while turning it 5 times counterclockwise.

Standard resistance:





NOTICE:
To avoid breakage of the spiral cable, do not turn the spiral cable more than necessary. If the result is not as specified, replace the spiral cable.
