  Q: How to service the Air Bag Clockspring Assembly / Spiral Cable on Chevrolet Venture?

  A:

  The air bag(s) arming and disarming procedure needs to be completed before starting any air bag clock spring assembly / spiral cable servicing work. After performing the disarming procedure start with inflatable restraint module removal before taking off Steering Wheel and then column shrouds. Remove inline connector c205 located at the steering column base which controls radio functions from its position and also remove the wiring harness straps from the steering column wiring harness. Pull the retaining ring before extracting the inflatable restraint Steering Wheel module coil from the Steering Shaft. Start installation by setting the inflatable restraint Steering Wheel module coil on the Steering Shaft where it should be fastened to the retaining ring. Move the lower coil wiring harness up the steering column and secure it by installing the harness straps before reconnecting the radio Steering Wheel controls through inline connector c205. After replacing the Steering Wheel, technicians should install upper and lower steering column shrouds and finally install the inflatable restraint Steering Wheel module. The sir system should be enabled as a final step during the procedure.

  Q: How to replace the Air Bag Clockspring on Chevrolet Venture?

  A:

  Before installing a new inflatable restraint Steering Wheel module coil, the sir system needs to be disabled. Vehicle wheels should point straight ahead while either the steering column anti rotation pin (J 42640) is present or the ignition switch stays on lock to keep the air bag clock spring assembly correctly centered. Begin by removing the Steering Wheel from the Steering Shaft then pull the tilt lever straight out (optional) before removing the 2 torx(R) head screws on the lower trim cover and the 2 torx(R) head screws securing the upper trim cover. Remove both the retaining ring and the air bag clock spring by detaching wire harness straps from the Steering Wheel column wire harness. When changing air bag clock springs users must dispose of the old unit. Before assembly check wheel alignment and confirm placement of the steering column anti rotation pin (J 42640) or an ignition switch set to the lock position. Position the newly installed air bag clock spring assembly toward the center and directly match it with the turn signal cancel cam assembly's horn tower. Install the air bag clock spring onto the Steering Shaft assembly while placing the retaining ring tightly into its groove. Remove the centering tab from the new air bag clock spring before installing the upper trim cover using 2 torx(R) head screws secured at 1.5 n.m (13 lb in). Attach the lower trim cover by inserting 2 torx(R) head screws followed by screw tightening to 1.5 n.m (13 lb in). Ensure both cover tabs connect correctly. Vehicles with tilt columns should slide the tilt lever handle into position before locking it into the steering column. The Steering Wheel can then be installed onto the Steering Shaft. Finally, enable the sir system.
