Clock Spring Installation

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 >

CAUTION: Do not rotate the clock spring 2.5 turns or more clockwise from the neutral position, or a malfunction may occur.
  1. Turn the clock spring clockwise fully.
  2. Rotate the clock spring approximately 3.6 turns clockwise to align the mating marks.
  3. Check that the white cable can be seen from the both window for checking the neutral point when the mating marks are aligned.
    NOTE: If the white or black cable can be seen from either window, the neutral point is not aligned correctly.
  4. Install the clock spring to the column switch.
