Q: How to replace the Air Bag Clockspring Assembly / Spiral Cable on Chevrolet Malibu?
A: Disabling the sir system is mandatory before replacing either the air bag clock spring assembly / spiral cable. The repair process begins with removing the inflatable restraint Steering Wheel module while continuing with Steering Wheel and steering column trim cover removal. The sir harness requires separation and the sir coil removal from the Steering Shaft for replacement. Discard the original sir coil if you need a new one. Install by steering wheels directly forward positioning the block tooth with the centering mark on race and upper shaft assembly at 12 o'clock. Prior to its installation the new sir coil demands pre-centering. It's essential to keep the centering tab in place until you finish the installation work. You should only center the sir coil when necessary. Follow these steps: position the new sir coil onto the Steering Shaft assembly followed by sir harness connection before removing the centering tab from the new sir coil. After installation of the steering column trim covers and Steering Wheel and inflatable restraint Steering Wheel module is complete you can enable the sir system.
Q: How to replace the Air Bag Clockspring in the steering wheel module on Chevrolet Impala?
A: The first step to replace the air bag clock spring requires sir system disablement. Start by removing the air bag clock spring before proceeding to remove the Steering Wheel and upper and lower shrouds. You must disconnect wire harness straps from the Steering Wheel column wire harness before taking out the retaining ring. Move the air bag clock spring from the Steering Shaft for removal. The installation of the new air bag clock spring requires alignment onto the Steering Shaft using the retaining ring securing method. Position the air bag clock spring at the center of its installation point for correct alignment. Secure the lower coil wire harness inside the steering column jacket before reconnecting its wire harness straps to the steering column wire harness. The installation process ends with the replacement of Steering Wheel components including the reinstallation of the upper and lower shrouds and the Steering Wheel itself as well as the air bag clock spring. Finally, enable the sir system.
Q: How to replace the Air Bag Clockspring in the steering wheel module on Chevrolet SSR?
A: To replace the air bag clock spring, first remove the sir system disabling it and performing the necessary precautions. Turn steering column to the center position and extract the Steering Wheel off the column. Take away the upper and lower trim covers. Examine the steering column if necessary for accident damage and then pull the wire harness strap. For example, in the event the Steering Wheel has pad control, the air bag clock spring and wire harness assembly is to be dismantled in one unit; then otherwise it can be severed off alone. For wheels with pad control, undo the wire harness assembly, then use snap ring pliers to snap off the retaining ring and pull out the air bag clock spring. If required, you should take out the wave washer. For installation,...place the wave washer back in position and align the block tooth on the Steering Shaft assembly to the 12 o'clock position and if reusing the existing coil make sure it is centered prior to installation. A new coil is pre-centered, and the centering tab should not be removed until the installation is finished. Pop the centering tab off if the air bag clock spring has one. In-line the air bag clock spring with the horn tower via the shaft lock or name orientation plate, slide it onto the Steering Shaft assembly and take the tab off, then secure the retaining ring in the snap ring pliers and make sure it fits in to the groove of the race and upper shaft assembly. For wheels with pad control, install the wire harness assembly then wire harness strap, and recite the upper and lower cover on trim. Lastly, replace the Steering Wheel onto the column and switch on the sir system.
