Clockspring Assembly / Spiral Cable: Adjustments

WARNING: If the rotating tape within the clockspring is not positioned properly with the steering wheel and the front wheels, the clockspring may fail during use. The clockspring is centered when yellow appears in the centering window and the arrow on the rotor points to the window. If clockspring is not centered, the following procedure MUST BE USED to center the clockspring:

1. To center the clockspring, with steering wheel removed, depress the two plastic locking pins to disengage the mechanism. Rotate clockspring until yellow appears in the centering window.
2. The arrow on the rotor will be pointing at the window if the clockspring is centered. Release locking pins to engage locking mechanism.
3. For installation, refer to Clockspring Replacement. Refer to Diagnosis and Testing for Airbag System Test procedures before connecting battery negative remote cable.
