Ignition Lock Cylinder - Functional




Ignition Lock Cylinder - Functional









Removal and Installation

NOTE: When a new lock cylinder is installed, the tailgate lock cylinder, door lock cylinders and the ignition lock cylinder should be installed as a set. This eliminates carrying an extra key which fits only 1 lock. If a new key is to be used, the new key code is attached to a tag.

NOTE: The individual door lock cylinders are repaired by discarding the inoperative lock cylinder and building a new lock cylinder using the appropriate lock repair package. The lock repair package includes a detailed instruction sheet to build a new lock cylinder to the current key code of the vehicle.

1. Remove the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) transceiver. For additional information, refer to Antitheft and Alarm Systems.

2. With the ignition switch in the ACC position, press the locking pin with a suitable tool and remove the lock cylinder.





3. If a new lock cylinder with keys is replaced, the new PATS keys must be programmed. For additional information, refer to Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment in Antitheft and Alarm Systems. Using Diagnostic Equipment

4. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
