2005 Chevy Malibu Clock spring problem

OK i got the clock spring and will be replacing it soon. also before i replace it and go through all that cause it seems to be a pain to take the wheel off and everything and then aligning it, can that cause my OBD2 to not work in any way? i know clock spring can affect a lot of stuff but my obd2 says link error when it checks my light. i know the fuel pump sensor is bad but until i replace i try to check often and isn't working. i haven't found fuses or any wires bad for it. if the clock spring wont affect the obd2 what else would stop it from working? all the fuses are good and if a fuse was bad the code reader wouldn't even power on i wouldn't think.
