Q&A

Here is some info from Technical Service Bulletin 04-09-41-005A
Working on or around the airbag system can be dangerous and the repair should be performed by a trained technician.

Condition:
Some customers may comment on noise from the steering column and/or noise from behind the steering wheel when turning the steering wheel.
Cause:
The inflatable restraint steering wheel module wires that go between the supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) coil and the inflatable restraint steering wheel module are applying a downward force where the wires come out of the SIR coil. This force may be causing the top cover of the SIR coil to make contact with the SIR coil housing which creates a scraping noise. This force is primarily due to the routing of the wires during installation of the inflatable restraint steering wheel module.
Correction:
On vehicles with this condition, follow the service procedure below to reposition the inflatable restraint steering wheel module wires in order to eliminate the noise condition.
