of the clock spring is carried out as follows.
Centering of the clock spring
After turning the clock spring clockwise fully, turning approximately
3 rounds in the opposite direction, and align mating marks.
Caution
If centering of the clock spring is not properly done, the
SRS air bag system does not function normally due to
possible malfunctions that the steering wheel may not turn
in the way or cables in the clock spring may be torn.
