2010 Toyota Yaris Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: The installation of the Clock Spring Assembly / Clock Spring requires a 90-second period of OFF ignition switch and disconnected negative battery terminal. Check that both front tires face forward straight and double-check the turn signal switch position remains neutral to stop damage to the turn signal pin. Steering sensors should be installed to the clock spring through the 6 claws and 2 pins for VSC vehicles before finally using the 3 claws for clock spring installation. Join together the steering sensor connector with the Air Bag connector plus the horn connector. You should install the clock spring by using the 3 claws for vehicles lacking VSC. The next step involves connecting the Air Bag and horn connectors only after clock spring installation. The installation of the steering column cover begins with attaching and tightening the 3 screws after engaging both upper and lower cover claws. To align the center marks you need to engage the clock spring by counterclockwise rotation until it locks then perform 2.5 clockwise turns. Connect the steering wheel assembly after establishing Air Bag connector compatibility with steering pad assembly color and ensuring complete locking of the locking button. Tighten the 2 bolts on the steering pad with a "TORX" socket wrench T30 to reach a torque setting of 8.8 Nm (90 kgf-cm, 78 in-lbf). Complete the task by attaching the cable to the negative battery terminal with 5.4 Nm torque and checking the SRS warning light.
