2008 Toyota Sequoia Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: Start your Clock Spring Assembly installation by putting the steering sensor into position and match up the pins of the clock spring to the sensor holes before using 6 claws to lock the cable in place. Before installation check both front wheel directions while confirming the turn signal system remains in its neutral state. Secure the Clock Spring by connecting its 3 claws while also linking the connectors to the steering sensor with great attention to the Air Bag wire harness to avoid damage. Mount the steering column covers starting with the upper section followed by the lower section. The clock spring requires adjustment only when the ignition switch is off and the battery negative terminal is disconnected with a minimum waiting time of 90 seconds to deactivate the SRS system. To achieve proper alignment of marks on the clock spring rotate it counterclockwise to reach firmness before continuing clockwise until reaching approximately 2.5 turns while making sure to avoid the Air Bag wire harness proximity. The installation requires steering wheel assembly together with steering pad followed by both lower steering wheel covers. The connection of the cable should be done to the negative battery terminal with a torque of 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf) while inspecting both the steering pad and SRS warning light for correct operation.
