Air Bag Clockspring - P2 -04 DSTC
Genuine Volvo 8622186 - 235627
Product Description
These units go by multiple names depending on who you ask. Steering angle sensor, contact reel, and air bag clockspring are all common names for this part.
When these units fail you'll often get a warning light on the dash stating that DSTC needs service, traction control is off, or something of this nature. Failure should be verified with an OBD reader that can read network fault codes. Replacement is fairly straightforward on this part and involves disconnecting the battery, then the airbag and steering wheel to access the part. Although replacement is a bolt on/ off, components need to be removed in a certain order and orientation or network codes will ensue. Not for the novice mechanic but can be done by an experienced wrench in about 30 minutes. Numerous writeups are available on this replacement online.

Fits:- S60, V70, XC70, S80 and XC90 models through 2004 fitted with DSTC
Verify that your model has DSTC prior to ordering.
**Do note that there is a small set screw on the center of the unit. This is to prevent the sensor from becoming "un-clocked" in shipping. This should be removed upon installation.**

Many may not know this but Volvo in Latin roughly translates to "to roll". The company was founded back in 1927 by Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larsson as a spin-off from ball-bearing manufacturer SKF. While the Volvo logo looks like the biology symbol for male, it's really the Swedish symbol for Iron. With a nod to its heritage in alloys, Volvo chose a logo that depicted a ring bisecting at one o’clock. Today Volvo is known around the world as one of the most iconic brands known for safety, longevity, and its enthusiast following.
