1. Remove the hush panel under the Steering Column. Disconnect the two-cavity connector in the wire leading into the Steering Column.

IMPORTANT: Make sure to differentiate between the 2-Way PASS-Key(R) Connector and the yellow 2-Way SIR Connector. The PASS-Key(R) 2-Way Connector will have PPL/WHT and WHT/BLK wires.

2. Connect the male and female parts to the mating connectors on the pigtails from the J 35628 Interrogator or equivalent.
3. Insert the customer's Ignition Key into the Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder.
4. Press the On-Off Switch on the Interrogator to the "ON" position.
The window above the Key Code Reader indicates the electrical code for the key (1 to 15) or "E" for error.
Rotate the Ignition Lock Cylinder while the key is inserted to insure that the correct code is read in all positions.
^ If the code is correct in all positions, proceed to step 5.
^ If the code is correct only in some positions, obtain a spare key or make a replacement key (Refer to Duplication Of Keys). Read the code again. A correct code indicates that the original key was defective. An incorrect code indicates a defective Lock Cylinder. Service and Repair
^ If the window shows "E", proceed to step 4.
5. Check the customer's ignition key by inserting it in the Key Code Reader on the J 35628 Interrogator.
^ If the Interrogator indicates "E", replace the key with a spare or follow the procedures under Duplication Of Keys. Service and Repair
^ If Interrogator shows the electrical code (1 to 15), replace the Lock Cylinder.
6. Set the Key Code Selector on the J 35628 Interrogator to the same electrical code determined in step 3. Turn the Ignition Switch to "START."
