2008 Scion xB Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: The installation process for the Clock Spring Assembly / Clock Spring requires that operators switch off the ignition before disconnecting the negative battery terminal and waiting for at least 90 seconds before initiating work. Front tires should be angled straight ahead while keeping the turn signal switch in neutral to prevent damaging the turn signal pin. The 3 claws should be activated when installing the clock spring followed by pulling out the lock pin before steering wheel installation when users need to replace the clock spring with a new one. Connect the device for the Air Bag and the unit for the horn and the sensor for the steering. The clock spring centers by turning it in reverse until locking then requires a clockwise rotation of 2.5 turns beyond the lock point for proper marking alignment. Connect the steering wheel assembly with the steering pad while maintaining a straight wheel position in front. Complete the connection of the cable to the negative battery terminal by tightening it to 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf) then check the SRS warning light.
