CAM-TURN SIGNAL CANCEL
DESCRIPTION
The turn signal cancel cam (3) is concealed within the
steering column. The turn signal cancel cam consists
of two lobes on a molded plastic ring that is snapped
into the lower hub of the clockspring rotor. The clock-
spring mechanism provides turn signal cancellation as
well as a constant electrical connection between the
horn switch, driver airbag, speed control switches, and
remote radio switches on the steering wheel and the
instrument panel wire harness on the steering column.
The housing of the clockspring (2) is secured to the
multi-function switch mounting housing on the steering
column and remains stationary. The rotor of the clock-
spring, including the turn signal cancel cam lobes
rotate with the steering wheel.
The turn signal cancel cam is serviced as a unit with
the clockspring and cannot be repaired. If faulty or
damaged,
the
entire
clockspring
unit
must
be
replaced. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS/CLOCKSPRING - REMOVAL).
OPERATION
When the multi-function switch control stalk is moved to a latched turn signal position, a turn signal cancel actuator
is extended from the inside surface of the switch housing toward the turn signal cancel cam. As the steering wheel
is rotated to complete the turn, one of the two cam lobes will contact the actuator, automatically cancelling the turn
signal event and releasing the latched multi-function switch control stalk to the neutral position.
