OEM 2005 Toyota Tundra Clock Spring

2005 Toyota Tundra Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How do you service and repair the Clock Spring Assembly / Spiral Cable on 2005 Toyota Tundra?

  A: Start by following safety protocols when working on Clock Spring Assembly / Clock Spring because of its connection to Air Bag Systems. The 90-second time period is necessary for waiting after negative battery terminal disconnection to avoid Air Bag activation. Begin service by removing the steering wheel pad followed by steering wheel and lower steering column cover and then pull out the clock spring. The replacement of steering wheel pads must happen right away whenever the installation process reveals pad drops or discloses any kind of defect. Furthermore, new pads always need to be used in these circumstances. The steering wheel pad needs to be kept free from contact with other components when installing it. The installation sequence includes adding the clock spring followed by lower steering column cover and steering wheel before placing the steering wheel pad. Heat the cable terminal while reattaching it to the negative battery contact before checking that the SRS warning light operates correctly.
