2009 Scion tC Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to install the Clock Spring assembly on 2009 Scion tC?

  A: You need to install the clock spring assembly with the front wheels aimed straight ahead and the turn signal switch set to neutral because it safeguards the pin from damage. The clock spring installation requires the lock pin removal for new component changes followed by proper connector connection to the clock spring while avoiding Air Bag wire harness damage. Now you should add the steering column cover to the assembly. Position the clock spring with a counterclockwise manual rotation until its tension feels right before proceeding to make 2.5 clockwise turns to align the marks without using the Air Bag wire harness for this operation. After installing the steering wheel assembly you should continue by installing the steering pad assembly before connecting the cable to the negative battery terminal. Initiate the steering pad assembly initialization while checking its functionality because the system requires such post-terminal negative battery connection. To finalize the task examine the SRS warning light while inspecting the steering wheel position.
