If diagnostics point to a faulty clock spring or airbag module, replace the component, ensuring the new unit is compatible and properly programmed if necessary. Finalizing the Repair
Use a multimeter to check the continuity and resistance of the clock spring while turning the steering wheel to identify intermittent open circuits.
Important: Always disconnect the battery and wait for the recommended time (usually 2-10 minutes) to allow the airbag capacitors to discharge before working on the system. If diagnostics point to a faulty clock spring
Confirm the code and check for associated codes (e.g., B0013, B0015, B0016) to pinpoint if it is stage 1 or stage 2.

Indicates the deployment loop resistance is less than 1.7 Ωcap omega for over 2 seconds, suggesting a short circuit. Common Scenario: Generally, a resistance greater than 4.4 Ωcap omega sets the code, signaling high resistance. Common Causes
Once the repair is completed, the SRS light must be cleared. A history DTC will typically clear automatically after 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles, but a scan tool is usually required to clear the current, active B0012 code immediately. Common Causes Once the repair is completed, the
