2009 Toyota Tacoma Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: The installation of Clock Spring Assembly / Clock Spring begins by setting the front wheels to a straight direction. The installation of the clock spring sub-assembly requires 4 screws to piece it together while maintaining the turn signal switch in the neutral setting to prevent snapping the pin but only remove the lock pin in case it gets replaced. You must connect the Air Bag and other connectors after which you must attach the steering column cover with three screws. Proceed after waiting 90 seconds when both the ignition switch has OFF position and the negative battery terminal obtains the disconnected state. Start by rotating the cable counterclockwise when resistance occurs, then move it clockwise about 2.5 times toward the alignment marks while recording the approximately 2.5 rotations in both directions from the center point. Reposition the claw to add the upper steering column cover while the lower one requires installation through two claws and two screws. Implement installation of the steering wheel assembly with accompanying steering pad as well as No.3 and No.2 lower steering wheel covers. Complete the procedure by attaching the cable to the negative battery terminal then applying 3.9 Nm torque while inspecting the horn button assembly and checking the SRS warning light status.
