Lock Housing, Steering Column - Installation






INSTALLATION






NOTE: Install the ignition switch prior to lock housing installation on the column to avoid complications due to interference with the tilt lever.

1. Ensure the ignition switch is in the RUN position and the actuator shaft in the lock housing is in the RUN position.

CAUTION: Use care when installing the ignition switch on the lock cylinder housing to avoid damaging the key-in plunger (3).

2. Align the ignition switch with the key-in plunger (3), actuator shaft and retaining tabs (2) located on the lock cylinder housing. Carefully install the switch, snapping it into place over the retaining tabs.





3. Install the ignition switch (2) mounting screw (1). Tighten the screw to 2 Nm (18 in. lbs.).





4. Position the lock cylinder housing in the RUN position.
5. Align the lock cylinder housing (2) with the steering column.
6. Using Torx(R) Plus Bit 10041, or equivalent Tamper-Proof Torx(R) Plus (five point) 30 bit, install the two screws (1) fastening the lock cylinder housing (2) to the column. Tighten the screws to 16 Nm (142 in. lbs.).





7. Place the actuator in the lock cylinder housing to the RUN position (if not already there).
8. Insert the key into the key cylinder and turn the key cylinder to the RUN position.
9. Align the retaining tab on the key cylinder with the slot in the top of the lock cylinder housing.
10. Slide the key cylinder into the lock cylinder housing until the key cylinder retaining tab locks the cylinder into place.
11. Rotate the key back and forth (OFF to START), then remove and reinstall it, making sure the key cylinder and lock cylinder housing operate properly.





12. Slide the ring of the SKREEM/WCM (2) over the lock cylinder housing (3) and engage the retainer fingers in the recesses formed on the lock cylinder housing.
13. Install the screw (1) fastening the SKREEM/WCM (2) to the lock cylinder housing (3). Tighten the screw to 3.5 Nm (31 in. lbs.).





14. If equipped with an automatic transaxle, connect the ignition shift interlock cable to the steering column. To do so, insert the ignition key into the key cylinder and turn it to the ON position. Push the interlock cable connector (2) into the lock cylinder housing (1) until it clicks into place.
