>> B << Clock Spring Installation

Check that the front wheels are at the straight-ahead position.
CAUTION:
- If the center of the clock spring is not correctly aligned, the steering wheel may not be turned fully or the cable inside the clock spring may be broken, causing the SRS air bag to be inoperative or operated incorrectly.
- When aligning the clock spring neutral position mark, perform with the clock spring independently. If performed with the steering wheel sensor installed, the steering wheel sensor may be damaged.
Align the mating marks of the clock spring.
Alignment of mating marks
1. Turn the clock spring clockwise fully.
2. Turn the clock spring counterclockwise approximately three and 1/2 turns to align the mating marks.
3. Check that the white roller can be seen from the window for checking the neutral point when the mating marks are aligned.
  NOTE: If the white 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.
