Hey all - Good news to report - My problem was in fact the clock spring, took about 1-2 hours to swap it out with a more reasonably priced part off Ebay. Video here walked me through the steps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWDo0c0JRcM Important thing is to disconnect battery well in advance to let any residual charges dissipate. My Journey did in fact have a connector for a steering angle sensor, but no additional calibration was needed after replacement. No more intermittent dinging/air bag light on in the dash and it wound up being a $60 repair instead of over $800 at the dealer.

Hi, I have a new to me 2009 Journey SE that has an intermittent check air bag warning that was diagnosed as being a faulty clock spring (code B1B02 Driver's airbag squib 1 circuit open) Dealer is of course willing to charge me arm+leg to fix, but I figure I can do this myself. I do have a code reader that can perform the SAS calibration, but I have a question to whether the clock spring in this very basic Journey even has a steering angle sensor - I see replacements on line that either have or don't have the sensor. Which is correct for this vehicle? Thanks! -Jeremy
