Ignition Switch

Service and repair of the ignition switch requires starting with supplemental restraint system (SRS) deactivation. Start by removing the instrument panel steering column cover before proceeding to take off three lower steering column cover mounting screws which will let you remove the lower steering column cover. Before moving forward remove the steering column covers at their specified locations then uninstall the electrical connector of the ignition switch. Proceed by setting the steering column to its most downward position followed by disconnecting the ignition switch by pushing the two tabs and pulling it out of position. The process of installing the replacement ignition switch requires both the return of removal steps and activation of the supplemental restraint system (SRS).

You should initiate ignition switch servicing by taking off the steering wheel. Users can lower the tilt release handle to reach the second screw which allows them to remove the lower steering column shroud including its screws. The removal process requires the screw behind the multi-function switch to be taken out before the upper steering column shroud can be detached. The first action involves removing a bolt then pushing the release before pulling the multi-function switch to the side. As the first step disconnect the electrical connector from the ignition switch before removing it. Reinstall the spring beneath the ignition switch on the lock rod of the steering column during installation according to the reverse process order.

Service and repair operations on the ignition switch need to start by depowering the supplemental restraint system (SRS). The service and repair of the ignition switch starts by removing the steering wheel followed by taking out the lower steering column shroud screw. Pressing inward on the joining areas between upper and lower steering column shroud covers permitting their detachment so you can remove the lower cover. After securing the two screws which hold the upper steering column shroud you must pull out the screw connected to the tab while moving the multi-function switch to a different position. To detach the ignition switch you must disconnect its electric connector followed by releasing the two lock tabs to extract the component. The replacement of the new ignition switch requires following the reverse installation steps while completing SRS supplemental restraint system reactivation.

The first step to serve or fix the ignition switch requires you to disconnect the battery ground cable. Proceed by removing first the two screws that keep the steering column opening cover then the three screws which anchor the upper and lower steering column shrouds. Unplug the ignition switch electrical connector and then unlock the two tabs to take out the ignition switch. The replacement of the new ignition switch must be done in reverse order but keep both the ignition lock cylinder and the switch separate to protect the column from damage.

A technician should depower the supplemental restraint system (SRS) at the start of ignition switch service and repair operations. Open service to the upper steering column shroud by applying pressure to its sides. The owner should remove the lower steering column shroud by dislodging its three mounting screws followed by the shroud itself. Lock the tabs of the ignition switch then remove the electrical connector before unlocking the tabs to take out the ignition switch. The new ignition switch needs installation following the removal steps before restoring power to the SRS.

Starting the process of ignition switch servicing requires a depowering of the supplemental restraint system (SRS). Follow these steps to detach the four bolts then disengage the fastener while placing the instrument panel lower panel to the side before reattaching the bolts at 9 Nm (80 inch lbs.). Begin replacement of the instrument panel lower panel by disconnecting both the hood release cable and data link connector DLC before removing it by loosely installing the hood release cable nut at 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.) torque. Start by using the suitable tool to free the two steering column upper shroud clips on both sides. You should remove the audio control switch from vehicles which have it by breaking the locking tab and unplugging the electrical cable. First release the steering column locking lever and then eliminate the screws to remove the steering column lower shroud. Use a suitable tool to disconnect the ignition switch and unitary LH multi-functional switch electrical connections before freeing the ignition switch with the clips. The installation process should begin with the opposite steps needed during removal.

The first step to servicing the ignition switch requires partial depowering of the supplemental restraint system (SRS). The sides should be gently pressed to remove the upper steering column shroud followed by removal of three screws for the lower shroud. Disconnect and remove the ignition switch electrical connector after releasing its two locking tabs. Reinstallation of the new ignition switch follows the reverse order of removal work while a SRS repowering procedure is necessary. The column requires proper protection by farmers who must not simultaneously extract the ignition lock cylinder and the ignition switch.

The proper method for servicing the ignition switch begins with disassembly of device components in their predefined order. Press the locking pin with a suitable tool after putting the ignition switch to the ON position for ignition lock cylinder removal. When ready to install the ignition lock cylinder use the opposite steps for removing it.
