Ignition Switch: Description and Operation

The ignition switch has blade-type terminals that engage with one multiple connector. The multiple connector is secured to the ignition switch by an attaching bolt integral with the wiring connector.

The lock cylinder positions are ACC, LOCK, OFF, RUN and START. With column shift automatic transmissions, the lock cylinder key can be removed from the lock cylinder only when the shift lever is in PARK position and the key is in LOCK position. The ACC position operates while the steering and transmission systems remain locked. Turning the key to OFF position shuts off the engine without locking the steering or transmission systems.
