What It Helps Resolve

  • Air bag warning light caused by a failed steering wheel contact assembly

  • Intermittent electrical connection while turning the steering wheel
  • Steering wheel circuit faults on Audi A4, Audi A4 Quattro, Audi S4, and Volkswagen Touareg models

Installation Notes and Tips

Install CSP165 only after confirming the vehicle application and matching connector and terminal layout. The steering wheel and air bag system should be handled with proper safety procedures before removal or replacement. Verify the clockspring is centered and aligned before final assembly so the steering wheel can rotate without damaging the internal ribbon circuit.
