Steering Wheel Module Coil

The supplemental restraint steering wheel module coil consists of two or more current-carrying coils. The supplemental restraint steering wheel module coil attaches to the steering column. Two of the current-carrying coils allow rotation of the steering wheel while maintaining continuous contact of the driver deployment loop to the supplemental restraint steering wheel module.

There is a shorting bar on the yellow 2-way connector near the base of the steering column that connects the supplemental restraint steering wheel module coil to the SRS wiring harness. The shorting bar shorts the circuits to the supplemental restraint steering wheel module coil and supplemental restraint steering wheel module during the disconnection of the yellow 2-way connector. The shorting of the supplemental restraint steering wheel module coil and supplemental restraint steering wheel module circuitry will help prevent unwanted deployment of the air bag when servicing the steering column or other SRS components.
