  Q: How do you replace the Clock Spring Assembly / Spiral Cable on Scion xA?

  A: The process to replace the Clock Spring Assembly / Clock Spring starts with following restraint systems service precautions and disconnecting the battery negative terminal. The front wheels should be aligned facing forward while workers use Special Service Tool: 09950-50013 (09951-05010, 09952-05010, 09953-05020, 09954-05021) to remove the Horn Button Assy along with the Steering Wheel Assy. Start by removing the steering column cover through the disposal of its 3 screws until you achieve the removal of the Clock Spring Sub-Assy by detaching its Air Bag connector together with the connector from the clock spring sub-assy and then detach the 3 claws. Check the clock spring sub-assy connector for both connector scratches and cracks as well as any present chips, dents or cracks before replacing it with a fresh component. After ensuring the front wheels are still facing straight ahead, install the new clock spring sub-assy by setting the turn signal switch to the neutral position, engaging the 3 claws, and connecting the Air Bag connector and the connector to the clock spring sub-assy. Reinstall the steering column cover with the 3 screws, then adjust the clock spring sub-assy by ensuring the Ignition Switch is off and the battery negative terminal is disconnected for 90 seconds before turning the clock spring sub-assy counterclockwise slowly until firm, then rotating it clockwise about 2.5 turns to align the marks. To complete the installation you should put together the Steering Wheel Assy before examining the steering wheel center point and adding the Horn Button Assy for examination and checking the SRS warning light functionality.
