2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to install the Clock Spring and ensure proper functionality on 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser?

  A: Install the clock spring with front wheels facing forward and turn signal switch in the neutral setting to stop the pin from snapping off. The clock spring needs 4 screws for installation following which the lock pin must be removed during steering wheel assembly setup in cases of using a new cable. When handling the Air Bag connector be sure to prevent damage to the Air Bag wire harness while connecting the connectors to the clock spring. After that you must attach the steering column covers which exist above and beneath the component. The adjustment of the clock spring requires a battery terminal disconnection and minimum 90 second wait time after removal until starting the procedure. Twist the clock spring in a counterclockwise direction under manual control until it achieves a firm setting, then continue turning it in a clockwise manner by 2.5 turns to match the marks without involving the Air Bag wire harness or connector. The steering wheel assembly must be reinstalled before checking the steering wheel center point which leads to adding the steering pad and steering wheel covers. Install the cable onto the negative battery terminal at 3.9 Nm (40 kgf-cm, 35 in-lbf) while observing and initializing systems that need it after removing the cable from the negative terminal. The SRS warning light requires a final inspection before completion.
