Clockspring Assembly / Spiral Cable: Testing and Inspection

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM: SPIRAL CABLE: INSPECTION

INSPECTION





1. INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE
(a) Check the spiral cable.
(1) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.
SST: 09082-00030
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:





NOTE: 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.
