2008 Toyota Sienna Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to install the Clock Spring and ensure proper function of the steering system on 2008 Toyota Sienna?

  A: Installation of the clock spring begins by orienting both front wheels directly ahead and placing the turn signal switch at neutral to stop the pin from breaking. While handling the clock spring installation install the new pin if necessary before connecting the appropriate connectors without damaging the Air Bag wire harness. The next step is to mount the steering column cover by using two screws. Begin adjustments to the clock spring only when the ignition switch is off followed by disconnection of the battery negative (-) terminal and at least 90 seconds of waiting time afterward. Rotate the clock spring counterclockwise at a slow pace by hand until firm then perform clockwise rotations of approximately 2.5 turns while ensuring not to twist it near the Air Bag wire harness. Reposition the steering wheel assembly before checking the point where the wheel centers on itself. The process continues by adding the steering pad followed by steering wheel No.2 cover lower and finally steering wheel No.3 cover lower. Connect the cable to the negative battery terminal before checking the steering pad and running the initialization procedure which might be needed after the battery cable removal. The last step before completing the task involves checking that the SRS warning light operates correctly.
