  • When airbag light came on, cruise control, radio control, horn quit working, spiral cable is the prime suspect. After the spiral cable replacement, all these functions are restored.
    VDC Off and SLIP lights came on, due to the movement of steering angle sensor while replacing the spiral cable, re-calibrating with an advanced scanner (not ODB-II scanner), these light are cleared.

    You didn't make another video on why the VDC Off & Slip lights went on.... Would like to know what caused it becuz Im having that issue after my clock spring was changed. Thank you 🙏

    The ring in the back is set to factory center, the front wheels must be straight forward for it to be centered. When you adjusted the factory center, the ring was moved from the position of your front wheels. They have to correlate with the position of the ring sensor or the VDC light will come on and stay on. Some vehicles wont let you move the car if this sensor is off centered.

      MrWati25 Thanks, good point. I think I should have just not rotated it, there is a plastic holder to hold it in the center position.

      Jay D Ya, the car computer has to recognize either the new part or the new position, a car repair shop scanner can reset it and clear the light.

    I know this vid is old but once you replace the clock spring sensor you must get it recalibrated to erase vdc, abs, and slip. As for the airbag light you must make sure your car is off and put your key in the ignition and onto the accessory mode where all the lights come one and wait until the airbag light turns on. As soon as you see it disappear from your dash turn the key to the off position. Do this about 4-5 times and then turn your car on. Wait 10-20 seconds to confirm that it has worked. You could also get the airbag light erase as well once you get it recalibrated. Go to a dealer or someone with a advance obd scanner and they can erase it.

    16:40 ... I lost count on how many videos I've said that YOU DON"T HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR (White plug that is barely shown on this video) in order to replace the Clockspring. That's the main reason for the VDC OFF, Slip and SRS light appearing after the replacement. Please refer to this video for more info. Hope it helps.

    @chelle315 2 года назад +3

    I know this video is 2 years old but the way you centered the clockspring was incorrect. The little white piece has to be at the top to fit back in the steering wheel. That could be why the lights were on.

    So i just had this problem just today when the shop changed the Clockspring on my 2007 aRMADA due to the flashing airbag indicator light. I bought the Clockspring in Ebay aftermarket i believe.....not OEM. So what its doing now after it was installed is when i drove away from the shop it started having the VDC problem like a pulsating/grinding effect. Brought it back to the shop and they inspected. They found out that the Steering Angle Sensor was not functioning..........the scanner showed it zero degrees on straight and when turning the steering wheel left and right it still stays at zero degrees. Do you think the Clockspring is bad or not compatible with the OEM Steering Angle Sensor thats why its not reading it? Or the Clockspring connected to the Steering Angle Sensor need to be calibrated or do a relearn?? Does it need alignment and they need to reset the Steering Angle Sensor?? Please help.
