@steve83803 9 дней назад

I was told that it was good practice to disconnect the battery and then leave the car for 20 minutes to allow the SRS to fully discharge its back up supply before working on the system. Also told never to put an airbag face down after removing in case it activated meaning it would take off rather that just inflate upwards.

I've been designing interior electronics including switchgear and clocksprings for 30 years. Nice to see this component get some recognition. ONE IMPORTANT THING about replacing them- make dead sure your front wheels are pointed dead straight when you take off the steering wheel. If the steering wheel is a full turn left or a full turn right, you could destroy the new clockspring the first time you crank the wheel all the way to one lock or the other.

I don’t miss doing these the 7 years I was with Toyota. Never really paid that great and if you didn’t line everything up just right you risk either doing an alignment for free or another clock spring for free. After you do enough of them you get it locked down pretty well where you don’t have to worry about it, but there’s always a risk. And if you have a long stretch of time between doing them you get rusty.

@deanrhodenizer938 9 дней назад

Thank you, great video as usual. I appreciate the more in-depth coverage given here. I am sure that the wizard has read many service manuals - surprised he didn’t rattle off “Assembly is the reverse of disassembly.” - which is common in so many service manuals. I have not previously seen a “clockspring” disassembled. I have often wondered how these connections were made - I suspected the clockspring unit would have utilized slip rings for the connections - ribbon cables were a surprise as failure is guaranteed; it is just a matter of time when the repetition limit for fatigue failure is reached for the conductors in those ribbon cables. Now I know a new caution when servicing the steering mechanism. If the steering rack or steering box is disconnected from the steering wheel don’t play around with the steering wheel; it can only be turned so far in either direction before those ribbon cables are wound up tight and break.

I'd like to add anytime you are dealing with an airbag it's good practice to make sure the battery is disconnected. I'm sure he did that but it wasn't in the video. Chances are even if you left the battery connected nothing would happen but there is always a chance and thoes airbags can really do some damage. It's always better to be safe than to risk it.

Had to replace it on my Mercedes C220 CDI too (S203). It was sometimes (and only sometimes!) stop sending angle of the steering to the ABS module and cause it to stop working together with the stability control... And zero codes in memory avail with my (Mercedes dedicated) scanner... I was able to discover it while driving around with the datapit for the steering angle active and noticed that the moment it signalled no ABS, there was no value reading from the clockspring... They did at least 4 different versions of it for my car, and I had the 1st version :D Found a used latest version and replaced it myself and no more errors :D

"400,000 miles on a Toyota, not so much on an Equinox." Just picked up a 2013 rust free Equinox with 170,000+ miles on it. Flew to Vegas and drove it back to MN. Oil level stayed full. Thought for sure I would have to add a few quarts on the drive home. Smelled coolant. Replaced the coolant surge tank cover as the old one had bad O-rings. Found another coolant leak around the water pump. Haven't been able to check if it's actually the pump leaking or it's gaskets. I am aware of the procedure for replacing the pump.

My stupid clock spring story is another "f*** dealerships" anecdote. Had one diagnose an airbag light on a Mazda3. They fairly charged 1 hour to diagnose, but quoted something like $1200 to replace it. Friend at a competing dealership checked what they'd charge by the book... $600. I ordered the spring for around $100 for an OE one and replaced it in 30 minutes. Didn't even need a steering wheel puller... pretty sure I only used the big socket for the wheel and a 10mm for the airbag.
