This angle sensor, often referred to as a clock spring, is an essential component of the steering wheel module in Volvo passenger vehicles. It facilitates the electrical connection between the steering wheel controls (airbag, horn, buttons) and the vehicle's main wiring harness, allowing for continuous contact even during steering wheel rotation. A worn or broken clock spring will result in malfunctioning steering wheel buttons, a disabled airbag, and illuminated warning lights.

Disconnect main battery before working on electrical components. Use dielectric grease on all connector pins. Check ground connections — most electrical faults trace to poor grounds. Test with multimeter before installing new parts.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
The first indication of a failing clock spring is often intermittent or complete loss of function for steering wheel buttons like the horn or cruise control. If ignored, the airbag warning light will illuminate, indicating the airbag system is disabled, and other steering wheel controls will cease to function. The ultimate consequence is a non-operational airbag and loss of all steering wheel functionality.
Before removing the old clock spring, ensure the steering wheel is centered and locked in place to prevent damaging the new component. Never rotate the new clock spring independently before installation, as this can cause internal breakage.
When replacing the clock spring, it is crucial to inspect the airbag module and its wiring for any signs of damage or corrosion.
