How to properly remove and install a clock spring on Mitsubishi Lancer?

The clock spring is a ribbon wire that twists with the steering wheel to deliver power to activate the driver airbag, and it can be easily broken by winding it beyond the operating limits. Before removing the clock spring, check that the front wheels are in the straight ahead position. If unsure of their position centralise the steering gear before proceeding. To remove the steering wheel, first switch off the ignition and make sure the wheels are straight. After that, unscrew the lower steering column cover retaining screws and withdraw the covers. Unclip the clock spring wiring by removing the lower dash panel from underneath the steering column. To disconnect the wiring connector, in CE models, carefully prise the green safety tab up with a flat bladed screwdriver, press the retaining tab and pull apart; in CG and CH models, the wiring connectors for the clock spring disconnect. Use quick-drying paint to indicate the position between the clock spring and the combination switch assembly. Remove the retaining screws and withdraw the clock spring from the steering shaft. When installing, make sure the front wheels are straight. Place the clock spring on the combination switch assembly as marked, and tighten the screws adequately. If you are not sure of the clock spring position centralise the clock spring by holding the inner hub and rotating it clockwise until it becomes hard to turn, then rotate it anticlockwise about 3 and 4/5 turns for CE and about 3 and ¾ turns for CG and CH so that the Arrows line up. To finish, connect the electrical connector of the clock spring securely, set the upper and lower covers back to the steering column, tighten the retaining screws, and put the steering wheel back in place.

Mitsubishi Lancer Clock Spring

The Mitsubishi Lancer Clock Spring components are positioned within the steering wheel assembly. They maintain a continuous electrical connection between the driver air bag module and the vehicle wiring that allows for airbag deployment while the wheel turns. The component is set out as a flat ribbon type of conductive coil wound within a circular housing. When the steering wheel rotates in either direction, it winds or unwinds as the steering wheel leaves its axis point. The winding does not stretch, therefore not pulling the wires or breaking them. This design allows signals and power from the battery and the crash sensors to reach the Supplemental Restraint System uninterrupted. It also allows a diagnostic check on every engine start so that the air bag receives the command to inflate in a crash. When driving in a straight line, the Clock Spring is positioned approximately at its neutral position so that it can move with the wheel in either direction. The coil housing has additional ribbon slack and limits steering wheel rotation to a safe range within the coil construction and structure that prevents the ribbon conductors from twisting from too many turns of the steering wheel. The Mitsubishi Lancer Clock Spring also sends power to other steering wheel electronics that use the same bundle so they continue to work whenever the wheel is turned. Only one general style has been confirmed for this application, which functions as the exclusive interface between the rotating steering column hub and the stationary vehicle harness. The Mitsubishi Lancer Clock Spring must operate properly for the Mitsubishi Lancer Supplemental Restraint System to work consistently.
