>>B<< Clock Spring Installation

WARNING: Ensure that the clock spring's mating marks are properly aligned. If not, the steering wheel may not rotate completely during a turn, or the flat cable in the clock spring could be damaged, This would prevent normal SRS operation and possibly cause serious injury to the driver.
  1. Turn the clock spring clockwise fully.
  2. Turn the clock spring anti-clockwise approximately three and 1/2 turns to align the mating marks.
  3. Check that the white or yellow roller can be seen from the window for checking the neutral point when the mating marks are aligned.
    NOTE: If the white or yellow roller cannot be seen or black roller can be seen, the neutral point is not aligned correctly.
  4. Install the clock spring to the column switch.
