2008 Scion tC Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How do you install the Clock Spring Assembly / Spiral Cable on 2008 Scion tC?

  A: The installation process for the Clock Spring Assembly / Clock Spring requires front wheel alignment in a straight position together with turn signal shift into neutral position to avoid pin damage. Fasten the clock spring while eliminating the lock pin during substitution then join the cable connectors but avoid any damage to the Air Bag wire harness. Place the steering column cover as the upcoming step. Rotate the clock spring through full counterclockwise hand rotation until a firm position is achieved before aligning the marks through clockwise rotation of 2.5 turns while disregarding the Air Bag wire harness for manual turning. Begin by installing the steering wheel assembly followed by the steering pad assembly and complete the process with connecting the cable to the negative terminal. The steering pad assembly requires both inspection followed by system initialization if you have disconnected and reconnected the cable from the negative battery terminal. To complete the inspection process examine the SRS warning light followed by steering wheel position evaluation.
