2009 Toyota Land Cruiser Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to install the Clock Spring and ensure proper function of the steering sensor and SRS system on 2009 Toyota Land Cruiser?

  A: The installation of the clock spring requires you to match the clock spring pins with the steering sensor holes before attaching all six claws while maintaining the front wheels straight ahead and selecting the turn signal switch to neutral to prevent pin damage. Use the three claws to fasten the clock spring to the steering sensor after positioning the pins correctly. Also remove the lock pin before installing the steering wheel when changing the clock spring. Fasten the connectors to the clock spring with the steering sensor while being cautious about Air Bag wire harness damage when handling the Air Bag connector. The system for SRS activation requires checking that the engine switch remains off while also verifying that the battery negative cable link gets disconnected for at least 90 seconds before reconnection. The clock spring with the steering sensor needs to be rotated counterclockwise by hand at a slow pace until it achieves firmness after which clockwise rotation should be conducted for 2.5 turns until the marks align yet the clock spring should not come near the Air Bag wire harness. After the installation of the steering wheel assembly, steering pad, lower No. 3 steering wheel cover and lower No. 2 steering wheel cover reconnect the cable to the negative battery terminal. To conclude the process inspect the steering pad while testing the SRS warning light functionality.
