1. NOTICE: If installing a new clockspring, do not remove the clockspring anti-rotation key until the steering wheel is installed. If the
anti-rotation key has been removed before installing the steering wheel, the clockspring must be centered. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in component damage and/or system failure.
Install the clockspring and 2 screws.
2. Connect the clockspring electrical connector.
3. If equipped, install the steering wheel rotation sensor and 2 screws.
4. Install the lower steering column shroud and 3 screws.
5. Attach the upper steering column shroud to the lower steering column shroud.
6. WARNING: If the clockspring is not correctly centralized, it may fail prematurely. If in doubt, repeat the centralizing procedure. Failure
to follow these instructions may increase the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
If a new clockspring was installed and the anti-rotation key has not been removed, proceed to Step 8.
If a new clockspring was installed and the anti-rotation key has been removed before the steering wheel is installed or the same clockspring is
being installed, rotate the clockspring inner rotor counterclockwise and carefully feel for the ribbon wire to run out of length with slight
resistance. Stop rotating the clockspring inner rotor at this point.
7. Starting with the clockspring inner rotor, wiring and connector in the 12 o'clock position, rotate the inner rotor clockwise through 4 revolutions to
center the clockspring.
Verify that the clockspring is correctly centered by observing that after 4 revolutions:
-
the clockspring rotor window is in the 4 o'clock position and the yellow indicator shows in the window.
-
the 2 arrows located on the inner and outer rotor of the clockspring line up in the 6 o'clock position.
-
the clockspring inner rotor, wiring and connector are in the 12 o'clock position.
8. NOTICE: To prevent damage to the clockspring, make sure the road wheels are in the straight-ahead position.
NOTE: The clockspring inner rotor, wiring and connector must be in the 12 o'clock position to install the steering wheel.
Install the steering wheel.
