Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder: Service and Repair

IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER







Removal and Installation

NOTE:
- When any new lock cylinder is installed, the driver door and ignition lock cylinders should be installed as a set. This eliminates carrying an extra key which fits only 1 lock. If a new key is used, the new key code number is stamped on a metal tag attached to the key.
- Individual lock cylinders are repaired by discarding the inoperative cylinder and building a new lock cylinder using the appropriate lock repair package. The lock repair package includes a detailed instruction sheet to build the new lock cylinder to the current key code of the vehicle.

1. Remove the 2 screws and the steering column opening cover.
2. Remove the 3 screws and the lower steering column shroud.
- To install, tighten to 2 Nm (18 lb-in).

3. Remove the ignition lock cylinder seal.
4. With the ignition switch in the ON position, press the locking pin with a suitable tool and remove the ignition lock cylinder.
5. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
- Lubricate the ignition lock cylinder during installation.
