  Q: How to replace the Air Bag Clockspring on GMC Jimmy?

  A: Begin the replacement process of the inflatable restraint steering wheel module air bag clock spring by disabling the sir system followed by steering column trim covers removal. To access the wire harness assembly remove it from the wire harness strap and uninstall the three wire harness straps from the assembly before removing the wire harness strap from the upper tilt head assembly. First remove the sir steering wheel module air bag clock spring retaining clip followed by the sir steering wheel module air bag clock spring before removing the wave washer from the steering column upper shaft. Base your installation by first aligning the block tooth on the upper shaft at 12 o'clock before tightening all fasteners to ensure component safety. Place the wave washer onto the steering column upper shaft while keeping the sir steering wheel module air bag clock spring in the center position because uncentering can happen if the steering column detaches from the gear or the centering spring is compressed. Use the proper centering methods for standard or tilt columns when the component is not centered. Position the sir steering wheel module air bag clock spring to match the horn tower on the turn signal cancel cam before you install the pre-centered sir steering wheel module air bag clock spring onto the steering column upper shaft. Discard the centering tab after pulling gently on the wire attached to the lower coil assembly to remove kinks from the assembly so the shaft lock mechanism remains clear of interference. Use the sir steering wheel module air bag clock spring retaining ring to lock into the upper shaft groove then check that the ring sits firmly in place. The wire harness assembly should be reattached to the wire strap while the wire harness strap needs to be installed into the wire strap before securing the wire harness straps to the wire harness assembly. Complete the process by reinstalling the steering column trim covers then turning on the sir system.
