Clock Spring Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mazda 3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Verify that the continuity is as indicated in the table.
- If not as indicated in the table, replace the clock spring.
NOTE:
- When the vehicle-side connector for the clock spring is disconnected, terminals 1F, 1H, 1J and 1L are shorted to prevent unexpected operation (deployment) of the air bag module.
