How to remove and replace the Air Bag Clockspring on GMC Sierra 1500?

Did you know that to remove and install the air bag clock spring, drivers should make sure the wheels of the vehicle are in a forward direction and the Steering Column in a place lock to avoid damaging the sir coil assembly because the latter becomes uncentered and may cause damage. Start by checking for the installation of the anti-rotation pin (J 42640) or the lock condition of the ignition switch. Next, disconnect any needed electrical connectors and remove the Steering Wheel and the Steering Column shroud examining the coil of the air bag clock spring for a retaining ring then remove the retaining ring and discard. Unfasten the coil in the Steering Shaft and, if it is so, dispose of the old coil. For installation: make sure the new sir coil assembly is centred and do not pull the parting tab until installation is done. Water jacket flange: align the new air bag clock spring with the horn tower on the turn signal switch cancel cam and slip the coil on the Steering Shaft and secure the new retaining ring in the groove of the Steering Shaft. Once you take off the centering tab from the new coil, you might connect all relevant electrical connectors and then reinstall the Steering Column shroud and the Steering Wheel, and only then take off the anti-rotation pin (J 42640).

How to Remove and Replace the Air Bag Clockspring Assembly on GMC Yukon?

You must order the air bag clock spring assembly / spiral cable by first straightening your vehicle wheels and applying the Steering Wheel using the Steering Column anti-rotation pin (J 42640), steering column lock, or a strap to stop wheel rotation since this protects the sir system from breaking down. Disconnect the Steering Column and intermediate shaft(s) and steering gear while keeping the front tires stationary to avoid shifting the sir coil assembly out of center. Check that both wheels remain straight while an anti-rotation pin is installed and the ignition key is in lock position before beginning to remove the Steering Wheel along with the Steering Column shroud. Begin by disconnecting electrical connectors and remove and discard the inflatable restraint Steering Wheel module coil retaining ring alongside the inflatable restraint Steering Wheel module coil. The old coil requires disposal when replacement is needed. When installing the new sir coil assembly always keep it centered before removing the centering tab at installation completion. Slip the new inflatable restraint Steering Wheel module coil next to the horn tower on the turn signal switch cancel cam before mounting it onto the Steering Shaft and installing the new retaining ring. Before moving forward install the Steering Wheel but first reconnect all electrical components and discard the centering tab from the new coil assembly. The replacement ends with the removal of anti-rotation pin (J 42640).

GMC Air Bag Clockspring maintains current flow to airbags to fire the moment trouble strikes. GMC develops pickups and SUVs that shake off the weight but roll with silent cabins. Its history goes back to its 1901 workhorses to modern times of multi-row family haulers all with a solid frame and a rough engine. The drivers have surround vision, hitch guidance as well as intelligent MultiPro tailgate which folds and steps to make cargo movements faster. The intense proving-ground tests bang every chassis to ensure that reliability remains at a high level in case the roads become rough. Calmness is more important than chrome, and the brand continues to invest heavily in safety features and smart tow technology. Everyday commuters appreciate the serene ride; weekend warriors know what it means to have a motor powerful enough to drag boats without making a scene. GMC is a trustworthy company that combines muscle with comfort and is unwilling to cut corners on materials. The Air Bag Clockspring is a coiled ribbon of conductive plastic and metal, fastened behind the steering wheel, and when you turn it, flexes to keep an open circuit allowing crash sensors to fire the airbag charge without wasting time (like in a stop-and-go parking space) once the battery starts the ignition. Since it is subjected to regular rotation, the Air Bag Clockspring utilizes hard polymer cases and hardened points of contact to prevent fatigue cracks, prevent arcing and prevent steering-wheel wiggle that might indicate failures. The rapid replacement replenishes the horn, radio controls and highly importantly the split-second airbag deployment which protects each seat row.

Q: How to remove and replace the Air Bag Clockspring on GMC Sierra 1500?
A:
Did you know that to remove and install the air bag clock spring, drivers should make sure the wheels of the vehicle are in a forward direction and the Steering Column in a place lock to avoid damaging the sir coil assembly because the latter becomes uncentered and may cause damage. Start by checking for the installation of the anti-rotation pin (J 42640) or the lock condition of the ignition switch. Next, disconnect any needed electrical connectors and remove the Steering Wheel and the Steering Column shroud examining the coil of the air bag clock spring for a retaining ring then remove the retaining ring and discard. Unfasten the coil in the Steering Shaft and, if it is so, dispose of the old coil. For installation: make sure the new sir coil assembly is centred and do not pull the parting tab until installation is done. Water jacket flange: align the new air bag clock spring with the horn tower on the turn signal switch cancel cam and slip the coil on the Steering Shaft and secure the new retaining ring in the groove of the Steering Shaft. Once you take off the centering tab from the new coil, you might connect all relevant electrical connectors and then reinstall the Steering Column shroud and the Steering Wheel, and only then take off the anti-rotation pin (J 42640).

Q: How to Remove and Replace the Air Bag Clockspring Assembly on GMC Yukon?
A:
You must order the air bag clock spring assembly / spiral cable by first straightening your vehicle wheels and applying the Steering Wheel using the Steering Column anti-rotation pin (J 42640), steering column lock, or a strap to stop wheel rotation since this protects the sir system from breaking down. Disconnect the Steering Column and intermediate shaft(s) and steering gear while keeping the front tires stationary to avoid shifting the sir coil assembly out of center. Check that both wheels remain straight while an anti-rotation pin is installed and the ignition key is in lock position before beginning to remove the Steering Wheel along with the Steering Column shroud. Begin by disconnecting electrical connectors and remove and discard the inflatable restraint Steering Wheel module coil retaining ring alongside the inflatable restraint Steering Wheel module coil. The old coil requires disposal when replacement is needed. When installing the new sir coil assembly always keep it centered before removing the centering tab at installation completion. Slip the new inflatable restraint Steering Wheel module coil next to the horn tower on the turn signal switch cancel cam before mounting it onto the Steering Shaft and installing the new retaining ring. Before moving forward install the Steering Wheel but first reconnect all electrical components and discard the centering tab from the new coil assembly. The replacement ends with the removal of anti-rotation pin (J 42640).
