The Importance of Toyota's Spiral Cable Sub-Assembly
As an esteemed auto spare part, the Spiral Cable Sub-Assembly is integral to the performance and safety of your vehicle. Also referred to as a "clock spring", this key component is responsible for maintaining continuous electrical connectivity to the car's airbag, horn, and other steering wheel-mounted controls.
How Does the Spiral Cable Sub-Assembly Function
The Spiral Cable Sub-Assembly operates in a straightforward manner. It is essentially a coil of flat wires housed in a plastic assembly that rotates with your steering wheel. As you turn the steering wheel left or right, the spiral cable unwinds and rewinds allowing for constant electronic connection.
The Consequences of a Malfunctioning Spiral Cable Sub-Assembly
If the Spiral Cable Sub-Assembly is damaged or malfunctioning, your vehicle's safety is compromised. The most obvious symptoms of a faulty Spiral Cable Sub-Assembly include an inoperative horn, non-functional steering wheel controls, and a lit airbag warning light.
More gravely, the airbag system may not deploy during a collision, which severely can jeopardize the safety of the vehicle's occupants. As such, it is of utmost importance to replace this part as soon as you suspect it may be broken or malfunctioning.
