Clock spring for my 2001 S60?

Hi, I'm replacing the dash from a 2001 S60 that had its driver's and passenger's seat airbags deployed. I removed the dash out without too much difficulty, but the tabs on the two plugs that attach to the driver's airbag broke off, so now I need to replace the clock spring, which is where those plugs originate.

My question is how do I know what kind of clock spring to get? From looking around it seems that some S60s have dynamic traction control, and some don't. I don't know if this car has that or not, so I'm thinking I just need to make sure I get a duplicate clock spring. Does anyone know where I look on the clock spring to find the part number? The only number on here that I've found is 9456298, and that was on the purple plug that along with the green plug attached to the airbag itself. Is that the part number for the whole clock spring?

Thanks in advance, and I'll keep this updated with any progress I make.

The owners manual states that if you have a car equipped with STC or DSTC you will find a switch for either/or underneath the climate control module. I know DSTC would have been an option on this car, not sure if STC was standard or an option as well. I think you would be safe to assume if you don't have a DSTC switch order the part of the STC variety.

Part # 8622186 w/DSTC
Part # 8622185 w/o DSTC

Cars from 01-04 optioned the same as yours should have a compatible part.

Thank you very much. Today I'll check the switches I removed as I disassembled the dash, and the owner's manual as well.

I found that the car didn't have DSTC, and I ordered the appropriate clock spring. It should arrive this week, and I'll update this to let everyone know how it goes.

Thanks again.
