Removal

NOTE: Individual lock cylinders are repaired by discarding the inoperative cylinder and rebuilding a new lock cylinder using the appropriate lock repair package. The lock repair package includes a detailed instruction sheet to build the new lock to match the key cut pattern for the vehicle, thus allowing for single point replacement without needing to replace or reprogram other locks or keys.

1. Remove the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) transceiver.

2. Insert the ignition key and position the lock cylinder to the ACC position.

3. Using a pick tool, press the ignition lock cylinder release pin on the underside of the ignition lock cylinder housing, while pulling the ignition key outward.

Installation

1. Insert the ignition lock cylinder into the lock cylinder housing until the retention pin engages into the lock cylinder housing.

2. Verify proper installation by rotating the key through all positions and pulling back out on the key to make sure the lock cylinder does not pull out.

3. Install the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) transceiver.
