Abstract
A component position detector for determining if a first component is properly attached to a second component. The component position detector can be a steering wheel airbag position detector that provides for a convenient and cost-effective apparatus and/or process for determining whether or not a steering wheel airbag is properly attached to a steering wheel. Such a steering wheel airbag position detector can include a jig that has a scan position, the scan position located on a front side of a steering wheel. In addition, the position detector can include a sensor rigidly attached to the jig, the sensor operable to perform a two-dimensional scan across a gap between the steering wheel and a steering wheel airbag and/or horn pad attached to the steering wheel.
