Audi TT Clock Spring is the electrically conductive link that connects the steering wheel air bag module to the vehicle supplemental restraint system while the wheel is turning. It has a flat multicore ribbon cable spirally wound such that the conductors can tighten or loosen. In other words, it allows the absorbance of energy on the rotating axis so that they do not stretch or break. This continuous path allows the circuiting of the air bag to retain power and signal that is able to perform start-up self checks and also keep the reserve charge that triggers timely deployment in a crash. In Audi TT cars, the component is located in the steering assembly. It is also part of the pathway that connects the crash sensors, diagnostic unit, indicator lamp, and battery power. There are two structural types: flexible ribbon arrangement and another using spring-loaded brushes contacting concentric slip rings. Both serve the same purpose of uninterrupted electrical contact, the main difference being whether the current is flowing through the coiled cable or between brush and ring. No matter the style, each Clock Spring is vital to reliable air bag deployment by providing a link to the steering for movement while remaining connected. Audi has incorporated internal monitoring into its vehicles SRS warning lamp to alert the driver when continuity is lost and inspection is needed before further travel. The functionality of the Clock Spring is vital in protecting the occupants of the vehicle. Therefore, Audi will only have a fully intact and correctly positioned Clock Spring in every TT steering wheel assembly. The signaling also highlights the importance of the Clock Spring across the line-up of Audi performance coupes.
