Component Description




CONTACT COIL AND COMBINATION SWITCH ASSEMBLY
The contact coil assembly consists of three current carrying coils; two for the deployment loop and one for the horn circuit. The contact coil assembly is combined with the combination switch assembly and mounted together on the steering column, allowing rotation of the steering wheel while maintaining continuous contact of the driver deployment loop to the driver air bag (inflator) module.

STEERING COLUMN
The steering column is energy absorbing and is designed to compress in a frontal crash to decrease the chance of injury to the driver.
