Steering Wheel Module

STEERING WHEEL MODULE

CAUTION: Refer to SIR Caution.

The steering wheel module is under the center pad of the steering wheel. The steering wheel module contained an igniter charge and a gas generator to inflate the folded air bag.

The air bag connector contains a shorting bar which makes the circuit shorted when the connector is disconnected. The shorting bar prevents current from travelling through the steering wheel module during servicing. The shorting bar is disengaged when the connector is connected.
