The proper way to install the clock spring without VSC requires a neutral turn signal switch position and front wheel straightness to prevent pin snapping. To mount the clock spring use three claws while removing the lock pin only if replacing it during your installation of the
Steering Wheel assembly. Connect the wires and handle the Air Bag wire harness delicately. The installation of the clock spring requires six claws and two pins for connection to the
Steering Angle Sensor when VSC is present. The installation procedure for the clock spring with the steering angle sensor requires re-checking wheel alignment and turn signal switch position then utilizing the 3 claws for installation before carefully connecting all connectors while avoiding the Air Bag wire harness. After linking the connector apply both steering column covers along with the lower instrument panel finish panel sub-assembly and the horn button wire sub-assembly. Cable adjustment occurs after disconnecting the negative terminal and turning off ignition during a minimum 90-second SRS system disable state while rotating the clock spring counterclockwise until it stops and completing 2.5 clockwise turns to reach proper alignment by using only hands rather than the Air Bag wire harness. Complete the installation of steering wheel parts alongside steering pad components and lower No. 3 and No. 2 steering wheel covers. Inspect the steering wheel center point before reconnecting the cable to the negative battery terminal and inspecting the steering pad and SRS warning light.
