2009 Scion xB Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How do you install the Clock Spring Assembly / Spiral Cable on 2009 Scion xB?

  A: The installation of Clock Spring Assembly / Clock Spring requires turning off the ignition and separating the battery then letting 90 seconds pass before starting work. The turn signal switch should be placed in neutral mode while the front tires must point directly forward to avoid damaging the turn signal pin. The installation of the clock spring requires using the three clamps while pulling out the locking pin before setting the steering wheel when performing a clock spring exchange. The installation process requires connecting the Air Bag connector and horn connector with the steering sensor. The clock spring should be positioned in the center by rotating counterclockwise until it locks followed by clockwise rotation of 2.5 turns from the locked position for proper center alignment. Safely install the steering wheel assembly together with the steering pad while keeping the front wheels in a level forward direction. The cable to the negative battery terminal requires applying 5.4 Nm torque while verifying the SRS warning light display.
