Clock Spring Check
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If any malfunction is found in the following inspections, replace the clock spring with a new one.
- Check the connectors and protective tube for damage, and the terminals for deformation.
- Visually check the case for damage.
- Check to see that there is a charge (continuity) between the C-204 clock spring connector terminal and C-203 horn switch.

CAUTION: Do not directly insert a probe, etc. into the terminal from the front of the connector. - Insert the special tool (MB991222) from behind the airbag module connector of the C-201 driver's seat.
- As shown in the Figure, connect the circuit tester to the special tool (MB991222) and check to see that there is a charge between the terminals.
