2009 Toyota Highlander Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to install the Clock Spring and ensure proper alignment with the steering angle sensor on 2009 Toyota Highlander?

  A: The installation of the clock spring requires users to join it to the steering angle sensor by inserting the six claws and two pins. Check that the wheels face forward directly and disable the turn signal switch to prevent breaking the pin. For filling the clock spring with the steering angle sensor you should use three claws while taking out the lock pin in case you need to put in a new cable before installing the steering wheel assembly. When connecting the connectors to the clock spring with the steering angle sensor avoid any damage to the Air Bag wire harness. Install the steering column cover as the following procedure. Perform clock spring adjustments only after disconnecting the battery negative cable (-) and waiting 90 seconds to avoid Air Bag deployment. To align the marks use a counterclockwise clock spring rotation until it stops and then follow with a clockwise turning of approximately 2.5 turns but avoid making these adjustments with the Air Bag wire harness. Proceed with the installation of the steering wheel assembly by first checking the steering wheel center point while subsequently adding the steering pad followed by lower No. 3 and lower No. 2 steering wheel covers. After connecting the cable to the negative terminal verify that the systems require initialization for reconnection while checking the steering pad along with SRS warning light operation.
