Lanos S Hatchback L4-1.6L DOHC D-TEC MFI (1999)
Clockspring Assembly / Spiral Cable: Service and Repair
Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Wait 1 minute until the capacitor inside the sensing and diagnostic module has discharged.
2. Remove the driver airbag module. Refer to Driver Side Airbag Module.
3. Remove the steering wheel. Refer to Steering Wheel and Column.
4. Remove the lower steering column cover.
5. Disconnect the connectors at the lower steering column.
6. Remove the screws and the clockspring from the steering shaft.
Installation Procedure
CAUTION: If the clockspring is not properly aligned, the steering wheel may not be able to rotate completely during a turn. Restricted turning ability
can cause the vehicle to crash. Improper alignment of the clockspring also may make the supplemental inflatable restraints (SIR) system inoperative,
preventing the airbags from deploying during a crash. Both of these outcomes can result in injury.
NOTE: Turning the clockspring more than three turns clockwise or more than three turns counterclockwise can damage the spring.
