Clockspring Adjustment

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.

NOTE: Typical SCCM and clockspring shown in illustration, others similar.

NOTE: Do not over-rotate the clockspring inner rotor. The internal ribbon wire is connected to the clockspring rotor. The internal ribbon wire acts as a stop and can be broken from its internal connection. Failure to follow this instruction may result in component damage and/or system failure.

NOTE: After final positioning, do not allow the clockspring rotor to rotate from this position.
1. Turn Counterclockwise (CCW) until resistance is felt, then turn Clockwise (CW) so the electrical connector is in the 12 o'clock position.
2. Turn the component Clockwise (CW) through 3 complete turns.
When the clockspring is correctly centralized, the wire harness is visible through the site glass and the 2 arrows at the bottom are aligned. Make sure the clockspring does not rotate from this position until after the steering wheel is installed.
