SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINTS SYSTEM 8B-61
SSANGYONG MY2002
KAA8B050
CLOCK SPRING
Removal and installation Procedure
Caution: The SDM can maintain sufficient voltage
to deploy the airbags for 0.15 seconds after the
Ignition is OFF and the airbag fuse has been
removed. If the airbags are not disconnected, service
cannot begin until one minute has passed after
disconnecting power to the SDM. If the airbags are
disconnected, service can begin immediately
without waiting for one-minute time period to
expire. Failure to temporarily disable the SRS
during service result in unexpected deployment,
personal injury, and otherwise unneeded SRS repair.
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the driver airbag module. Refer to “Driver
Airbag Module” in this section.
3. Remove the steering wheel. Refer to Section 6E,
Steering Wheel and Column.
4. Remove the steering column cover. Refer to
Section 6E, Steering Wheel and Column.
5. Carefully full the instrument panel lower cover.
6. Remove driver side knee bolster.
7. Disconnect the clock spring, horn and remote
audio control connectors at the lower steering
column.
8. Remove the screws and the clock spring from the
steering shaft.
Installation Notice
Turning the clock spring more than three turns
clockwise or counterclockwise can damage the
spring.
Align the clock spring before installation. Turn
the lobe of the clock spring clockwise to lock
but do not force. Then turn the lobe of clock
spring count clockwise approximately three
turns to the neutral position, with the front of
the wheels straight ahead. Properly align the
pointed marks on the components of the clock
spring.
9. Installation should follow the removal procedure
in the reverse order.
Caution: If the clock spring is not properly
aligned, the steering wheel may not be able to
rotate completely during a turn. Restricted
turning ability can cause the vehicle to crash.
Improper alignment of the clock spring also may
make the supplemental restraint system (SRS)
inoperative, preventing the airbag from
deploying during crash. Both of the out comes
can result in injury.
