Before you fit the Clock Spring assembly, disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable to stop the SRS from work. Wait two minutes afterward to drain the capacitor and avoid any
Air Bag deployments by chance. Be sure that the Clock Spring is centered between the Steering Angle Sensor, the
Steering Wheel, the steering shaft and the steering gear, so you don't damage anything or activate any Diagnostic Trouble Codes. The Clock Spring included in a service replacement package is centered and held with a locking pin that shouldn't be removed until installation on the steering column. To start, slide the multi-function switch into the Clock Spring, then snap the adjustable pedal switch blank filler or switch in place. After locking the rotor and case into place, place the Clock Spring around the upper shaft of the steering column and reattach its harness connectors: multi-function switch connector, heated steering wheel slip ring, SAS connector, two Clock Spring connectors and adjustable pedal switch connector. Put the Clock Spring in place on the steering column housing and secure it with screws turned to 3 Nm (25 in. lbs.). Install the upper and lower shrouds onto the steering column and afterward, remove the locking pin to ensure proper Clock Spring centering. Reinstall your steering wheel, make certain the engagement dowel matches and attach the Clock Spring pigtail wire connector for the steering wheel heater element if you have that. Link the steering wheel wire harness back together, confirming it is in the right place, then fit the driver air bag onto the wheel again and attach the battery negative cable. The SAS Menu Item, Data Display function can be used with a diagnostic scan tool to confirm correct Clock Spring installation.
