Some of the most important warnings concerning the procedure of the removal of the ignition switch and the Ignition Lock Cylinder replacement are the following. The transponder in the new key has to be programmed by a dealer service department before the engine will start, even if the old key is made into a new cylinder. First of all, take away the knee bolster. That is followed by turning the ignition key which will be located in the Ignition Lock Cylinder till it is switched on and this is marked by a line standing vertically. Immediate removal of the lock cylinder can be done using a 1/8-inch awl or punch where the lock cylinder release tab will be depressed while pulling out the lock cylinder. Regrettably, installation is done in the reverse order of removal. Subsequent to that, unlock and take out the
Instrument Cluster, the knee bolster and the instrument panel center trim panel. Remove the nut and connectors of the Ignition switch and the Theft Deterrent Control Module including the theft deterrent control module connector, Ignition switch connector and the Body Control System Interface (BCSI) cable. Plastic air intake take out, separation of the BTSI cable from the ignition switch, screws for the ignition switch and the ignition switch assembly shall also be removed. Continue by taking off the screws of ignition switch mounting bracket, theft deterrent control module and the ignition switch mounting bracket. Last of all, installation can be described as the reversing of the removal process.
