2009 Toyota Avalon Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How do you remove the Clock Spring Assembly / Spiral Cable on 2009 Toyota Avalon?

  A: The technical procedure for Clock Spring Assembly / Clock Spring removal starts by carefully studying all safety warnings. Pulling the negative battery cable disconnect allows 90 seconds for Air Bag activation prevention. The process begins by setting front wheels in alignment before moving forward to take off Steering Wheel Cover Lower No.3 and then Steering Wheel Cover Lower No.2 and finally the Steering Pad. The first step is to remove the Steering Wheel Assembly followed by both the Steering Column Cover Lower and the Steering Column Cover. The disconnect operation of clock spring connectors requires handling of Air Bag connectors without damaging the Air Bag wire harness material. Three cables need to be disengaged to take out the clock spring. The removal procedure must include the Steering Angle Sensor when VSC is present in the vehicle.
