2010 Scion xD Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How do you install the Clock Spring Assembly / Spiral Cable on 2010 Scion xD?

  A: The installation process for the Clock Spring Assembly / Clock Spring starts by turning the ignition switch to OFF and disconnecting the negative battery terminal and waiting for 90 seconds. All installation of the front tires must be performed with a straight forward position while keeping the turn signal switch in the neutral position to avoid damaging the turn signal pin. The installation of the clock spring requires engagement with three claws and extraction of the lock pin when using new clock springs to replace the steering wheel. You need to join together the Air Bag connector to the horn connector and steering sensor at this moment. Move to the following step that includes installation of the steering column upper cover along with the lower cover. Turn the clock spring counterclockwise until it locks and proceed by turning it 2.5 times clockwise from the locked position to reach center alignment. Place the steering assembly into position while setting the front wheel direction straight ahead before you attach the steering pad. The cable requires connection to the negative battery terminal through a torque of 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf) and afterwards verify the SRS warning light.
