Ignition Lock Cylinder, Front

Having a new ignition lock cylinder installation requires replacing both driver door and ignition lock cylinders at once since operating with one lock-specific key would create an inconvenient situation. A metal tag will display the new key code number which receives stamping. When a single lock cylinder malfunctions let it be replaced by the matching lock repair package that carries installation instructions to produce a matching cylinder for the vehicle key code. Releasing the ignition lock cylinder requires a suitable tool to press the locking pin while using the RUN position on the switch for quick extraction of the lock cylinder. A new lock cylinder installation with keys requires programming of the new Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) keys. Recovery of the installation finishes when operators return to the steps utilized for removal.

A non-functional ignition switch lock cylinder requires initial removal of the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) transceiver together with the ignition lock cylinder. Drill a 1/8-inch diameter and a 3/8-inch diameter hole into the lock cylinder retaining pin and middle of the ignition key slot to free the ignition lock cylinder. All elements removed from the steering column including the ignition lock cylinder among the drill debris need disposal. As the next step remove the bearing retainer after which you must remove the steering column lock housing bearing and steering column lock gear. dump cleaning must follow the drill shavings removal from the steering column before checking the column for damage. Place a new ignition lock cylinder into the steering column and check its performance before beginning to program new PATS keys.

The replacement of both driver door and ignition lock cylinders needs to be done together because separating them creates the inconvenience of having a key which only works on one lock. A new key that requires the new key code number will receive a metal tag for attachment. When repairing single lock cylinders, replace the malfunctioning one and create a new cylinder through correct lock repair packages while following their instruction manual to duplicate the vehicle's present key code. Begin by putting the ignition switch to ON and then you can extract the locking pin with a proper tool to free the ignition lock cylinder. The installation process should be done in reverse order while adding lubrication to the ignition lock cylinder.

The first step for ignition lock cylinder servicing involves disconnecting the battery power. The first step requires removal of the lower steering column shroud by taking out its three screws followed by removal of the steering column cover. Place the key into the ignition slot while positioning it in the ACC setting. Use an appropriate tool along with which to exert pressure on the release pin for removing the ignition cylinder. The installation process finishes with the opposite steps used for removal.

Service of a non-functional ignition switch lock cylinder requires removal of the passive anti-theft system transceiver and the ignition lock cylinder through drilling out of its retaining pin with a 1/8-inch diameter drill bit. Perform the next step by using a drill with 3/8-inch diameter to bore through the middle of the ignition lock key opening until the ignition lock cylinder separates from its position before discarding both the ignition lock cylinder and column drill shavings. The technician should proceed by removing the bearing retainer and subsequently remove the steering column lock housing bearing and steering column lock gear. All drill shavings from the steering column need complete cleaning before installation. Additionally you should inspect the column for any damage. Finish the process by mounting a fresh ignition lock cylinder followed by an operation check.

Replacing only a single ignition lock cylinder with a new one requires changing both the driver door lock and ignition lock cylinder as a pair to prevent needing an unnecessary key that functions on one lock. A new key usage requires stamping the key code number onto a metal tag which becomes attached to the key. Builders should discard malfunctioning lock cylinders and make new ones by using the necessary lock repair packages complete with installation instructions matching current key codes. First, position the ignition switch to ON before using a suitable tool to press the locking pin to free the ignition lock cylinder.
