  Q: How to install the Clock Spring Assembly / Spiral Cable on Scion xB?

  A:

  The installation process for the Clock Spring Assembly / Clock Spring requires that operators switch off the ignition before disconnecting the negative battery terminal and waiting for at least 90 seconds before initiating work. Front tires should be angled straight ahead while keeping the turn signal switch in neutral to prevent damaging the turn signal pin. The 3 claws should be activated when installing the clock spring followed by pulling out the lock pin before steering wheel installation when users need to replace the clock spring with a new one. Connect the device for the Air Bag and the unit for the horn and the sensor for the steering. The clock spring centers by turning it in reverse until locking then requires a clockwise rotation of 2.5 turns beyond the lock point for proper marking alignment. Connect the steering wheel assembly with the steering pad while maintaining a straight wheel position in front. Complete the connection of the cable to the negative battery terminal by tightening it to 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf) then check the SRS warning light.

  Q: How to service the Clock Spring Assembly / Spiral Cable on Scion xB?

  A:

  Service of the Clock Spring Assembly / Clock Spring begins with connecting the cable to the negative battery terminal then waiting at least 90 seconds to stop Air Bag and seat belt pretensioner activation. The service on the Clock Spring Assembly / Clock Spring starts with removing the steering pad assembly while positioning the front wheels directly forward then removing both the steering wheel assembly and steering column cover. The first step in removing the clock spring sub-assembly requires disconnection of the Air Bag connector followed by careful handling of the Air Bag wire harness before removing the 3 claws that secure the clock spring. Start by installing the clock spring sub-assembly when the front wheels should be straight and the turn signal switch in neutral position to protect the pin from breaking. To replace the clock spring users should remove the lock pin prior to installing the steering wheel while connecting the Air Bag connector while maintaining the wire harness integrity. First attach the steering column cover with 3 screws then place the clock spring through counterclockwise motion before tightening the cable clockwise for alignment of marks but refrain from using the Air Bag wire harness when turning. To finish the operation first install the steering wheel assembly followed by the steering pad assembly and return the cable to the negative battery terminal then inspect the steering pad assembly and verify the SRS warning light and check the steering wheel position.
