Ignition Lock Cylinder

The process of replacing the ignition lock cylinder requires installing new tailgate and door lock cylinders because using different keys causes unpleasant inconvenience. A new key requires the attachment of its key code onto a designated tag. The inoperative ignition lock cylinder requires removal while a new ignition lock cylinder can be assembled according to the appropriate repair package that guides the current key code integration. Proceed with the procedure by taking out the steering wheel and lower steering column shroud securing bolt. Start the procedure by moving away the ignition lock cylinder cover then detach the PATS transceiver electrical connector and eliminate the screw that anchors the PATS transceiver. A suitable tool should be used while the ignition switch is set to ON to press the locking pin which allows removal of the ignition lock cylinder. The reverse steps from removal will finish the installation process.

You need to execute a combined replacement of driver door and ignition lock cylinders since this procedure stops keys from functioning on a single lock. The new key process requires the key code number stamping onto a metal tag that is fixed to the key. Lock cylinder replacement requires discarding damaged components to build a new unit following documentation from the appropriate lock repair package for matching the current key code. Removing a steering column shroud requires dismantling its three securing screws followed by a step to remove both the lower shroud and the ignition lock cylinder seal. The installer must apply lubricant to the ignition lock cylinder before mounting it into place. The ignition lock cylinder must be set to ON while you use a proper tool to push down the locking pin for cylinder removal. You should follow the opposite sequence of steps which were used for removal to complete the installation.

The service process begins by taking out the PATS transceiver followed by removing the ignition lock cylinder through drilling at the retaining pin using a 1/8-inch drill bit. Use a 3/8-inch diameter drill to make a hole in the middle of the ignition lock key slot while drilling until the ignition lock cylinder releases itself from its position and discard both items and any drill products from the steering column. The next step is to clear out the bearing retainer and follwed by the steering column lock housing bearing as well as steering column lock gear before inspecting the steering column for any damage while cleaning all drill shavings off the column thoroughly. A new ignition lock cylinder needs replacement before installation according to the reverse removal steps and users must check the function of the ignition switch lock cylinder.

The replacement of a new ignition lock cylinder requires parallel installation of both tailgate lock cylinder and door lock cylinder units to stop using multiple keys. A new key program requires the technician to attach the key code to a tag. You should dispose of defective door lock cylinders while using the correct lock repair package that contains building instructions to match current vehicle key codes. The work starts with steering wheel and bolt as well as lower steering column shroud removal. You should move the ignition lock cylinder cover out of the way before unplugging the PATS transceiver electrical connector and unscrewing the cylindrical bolt that supports the PATS transceiver. Use your suitable tool to press the locking pin when the ignition lock cylinder points to ON position to remove the lock cylinder. After finishing the installation follow the reverse order of removal procedures.
