• Q: How to replace the Clock Spring Assembly / Spiral Cable on 2005 Toyota Prius?

  A: Start repair of the Clock Spring Assembly / Clock Spring by disconnecting the battery negative terminal after you ensure the front wheels remain aligned with a straight position. Proceed to remove the steering wheel cover lower No.2 and No.3 gradually before separating the horn button assembly and steering wheel assembly using Special Service Tool: 09950-50013 consisting of parts (09951-05010, 09952-05010, 09953-05020, 09954-05021). The clock spring sub-assembly needs to be detached from its connectors by using caution to prevent Air Bag wire harness damage and breaking the 3 claws that secure it. Replacement of the clock spring sub-assembly is necessary when visual inspection reveals scratches or cracks or dents or chips. Installation of the new clock spring sub-assembly requires front wheel straightness and neutral turn signal switch position to prevent snapping the pin. Frequently check the Air Bag connector while you install connectors to the clock spring sub-assembly by removing the lock pin first. Testing must begin only after the power switch is off and the negative terminal is removed from the battery to wait for at least 90 seconds before any operation. Leverage the clock spring sub-assembly to turn counterclockwise until it stops then rotate it clockwise twice to reach alignment between the marks. The installation process starts with the steering wheel assembly followed by a check of the center steering wheel location until completion with the installation of the horn button assembly. After reconnecting the negative terminal follow the initialization instructions then inspect the horn button together with the SRS warning light.
