2006 Toyota Land Cruiser Clock Spring Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service the Clock Spring Assembly / Spiral Cable on 2006 Toyota Land Cruiser?

  A: A safe procedure for servicing the Clock Spring Assembly / Clock Spring requires a negative cable battery disconnect followed by a 90-second wait period to avoid Air Bag and seat belt pretensioner activation. Service the Clock Spring Assembly / Clock Spring by first removing steering pad assembly, steering wheel assembly, front door scuff plate LH, cowl side trim board LH, front door opening trim Weather Strip LH, and instrument cluster finish panel sub-assembly, No.1 lower panel and steering column cover. Then separate the clock spring sub-assembly by detaching its connectors and removing the 4 screws. The front wheels must be positioned forward as you install the clock spring sub-assembly while securing it with four screws. Breaking the lock pin only occurs when you need to replace it with a new one before attaching the connectors. The sequence for installation involves first adding the steering column cover as well as the No. 1 lower panel and instrument cluster finish panel sub-assembly and front door opening trim Weather Strip LH and cowl side trim board LH and front door scuff plate LH. To properly install the clock spring workers should rotate it counterclockwise until it reaches a firm position and then rotate it clockwise for approximately 2.5 turns to achieve marking alignment while avoiding the Air Bag wire harness for any turning operation. The final steps include steering wheel and steering pad assembly installation while you reconnect the cable to the negative terminal before initializing relevant systems and checking the SRS warning light and steering wheel placement.
