Key and Lock Cylinder Coding
KEY AND LOCK CYLINDER CODING
KEY IDENTIFICATION AND USAGE
The lock cylinder keyway is designed so that other model keys will not enter a current model lock cylinder. A single key is used for all locks on the
vehicle.
The key identification is obtained from the four-character key code stamped on the knockout portion of the key head. Knock the plugs out of the key
head after code numbers have been recorded. The code list, available to owners of key cutting equipment from equipment suppliers, determines the
lock combinations from the code numbers.
CUTTING KEYS
After the code has been determined from the code list or the key code diagram, perform the following steps:
1. Cut a blank key to the proper level of each of the tumbler positions.
2. Inspect the key operation in the lock cylinder.
REPLACEMENT LOCK CYLINDERS
New lock cylinders (except ignition lock cylinders) are available from the service parts warehouse with new lock cylinder locking bars. The tumblers
are also available and must be assembled into the cylinder as recommended. For additional information, refer to the following.
