Repair Procedure A

NOTE:
Make sure you use the lever kit
P/N 06351-S84-000 to do this repair.





1. Remove the steering column covers.

2. Unplug the connectors as needed to allow access to the ignition switch assembly.





3. Remove the plastic solenoid cover from the ignition switch key interlock solenoid.





4. Note the position of the interlock solenoid plunger; you will need to reinstall it the same way.

5. Remove the screw from the interlock solenoid. Keep the solenoid attached to its connector.

NOTE:

^ Be careful not to lose the solenoid plunger because it slides out easily.

^ Make sure you don't get any dirt or grease on the plunger.





6. Note the position of the interlock lever spring. You'll need to install the new spring the same way.

7. Measure the installed height of the interlock lever pin with vernier calipers. You will need this measurement when installing the new lever pin.





8. Remove the interlock lever pin with the slide hammer.

NOTE:
Make sure you do not reuse the lever, the pin, or the spring.





9. Clean any dirt or debris from the lever's sliding surface on the ignition switch using a clean cloth or cotton swab.

NOTE:
Do not clean the surface with compressed air.





10. Place the new lever into the ignition switch and install the new lever pin with the slide hammer.

11. Measure the height of the installed lever pin. The height should be close to the measurement you made in step 7. If the height is more than 5.3 mm, the pin is not seated. Use the slide hammer to seat the pin.

NOTE:
It is normal for the interlock lever to be loose, even when the pin is fully seated.





12. Install the new spring on the lever as shown. Check that the lever moves freely and returns to its original position.

13. Reinstall the plunger in the interlock solenoid.

14. Reinstall the solenoid using a new screw. Make sure the solenoid plunger is positioned in the fork on the lever as shown.

16. Reconnect the connectors that were disconnected in step 2.

17. With the parking brake set, turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position.

18. Press the brake pedal, then move the shift lever to N. Try to turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) at least five times.

^ If you can't turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), the repair is complete, and reinstall the steering column covers.

^ If you can turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), go to step 19.





19. Remove the solenoid cover and make sure that the solenoid plunger is properly installed in the fork on the lever.

^ If the plunger is not correctly positioned, reinstall it in the correct position, reinstall the cover, then repeat steps 17 and 18.

^ If the plunger is correctly installed, there is a problem with the interlock system. Refer to the Automatic Transmission section of the applicable service manual for troubleshooting information.
