E. REPAIR PROCEDUREUpdated information is shown with asterisks.
CAUTION:
IF PARTS NEED TO BE ORDERED, DOORS WITHOUT OUTER HANDLES CANNOT BE LEFT EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS. POTENTIAL INTERNAL DOOR DAMAGE COULD OCCUR. BE SURE TO COVER/SEAL ALL EXPOSED DOOR OPENINGS.
1. Replace failed outer handle, or replace handle bracket (front door with Advanced Keyless Entry only).
Doors WITHOUT Advanced Keyless Entry:
^ FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND REAR DOORS: Install new outer handle in reverse order of "C. OUTER HANDLE REMOVAL" procedure.
^ DRIVER'S DOOR: Replace outer handle according to Workshop Manual (section 09-14 FRONT OUTER HANDLE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION).
Doors WITH Advanced Keyless Entry:
^ FRONT DOORS ONLY: Replace handle bracket according to Workshop Manual (section 09-14 FRONT OUTER HANDLE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION).
NOTE:
After all repairs are completed, ensure that no outer handle sticking is present and keyless entry and power windows operate correctly.
*REPAIR PARTS:
NOTE:
The replacement parts indicated in the chart below have been modified to achieve the a 0.05mm (0.002 in.) clearance between the mating surfaces of the outer handle and/or handle bracket.
EXAMPLE: If the handle failed during the secondary inspection on a vehicle equipped with Advanced Keyless Entry, the replacement part would be the bracket. The replacement brackets for the front doors on vehicles equipped with Advanced Keyless Entry have been modified to achieve the desired clearance.*
*RECORD INSPECTION RESULTS:
Record the inspection results in the Door Handle Inspections Results Sheet (Attachment A). This sheet must be attached to the warranty parts return tag along with the Repair Order.
