INSTALLATION
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before
attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component
diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to
discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper
precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
1. Position the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) (2) to the instrument panel.
2. Reconnect the instrument panel wire harness connector to the WIN connector receptacle.
3. If equipped, reconnect the remote start system antenna module coaxial cable connector to the WIN connector receptacle.
4. Position the WIN into the instrument panel.
5. Install and tighten the four screws (3) that secure the WIN to the instrument panel support structure (1). Tighten the screws securely
6. Position the bezel around the ignition switch on the instrument panel, then press firmly and evenly on the bezel until it snaps into place.
7. Reinstall the steering column opening cover onto the instrument panel. See: Body and Frame/Interior Moulding / Trim/Dashboard / Instrument
Panel/Service and Repair/Steering Column Opening Cover - Installation.
8. Reinstall the bezel onto the instrument panel. See: Body and Frame/Interior Moulding / Trim/Dashboard / Instrument Panel/Service and
Repair/Instrument Panel Bezel - Installation.
9. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
NOTE: When the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) is replaced with a new unit, a diagnostic scan tool MUST be used to initialize the new WIN
and to program at least two FOBIKs transponders before the vehicle can be operated. See: Accessories and Optional
Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Service and Repair .
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with a premium Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system, when the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) or the spare
tire pressure sensor is replaced with a new unit, a diagnostic scan tool MUST be used to run a routine that allows the WIN to be
programmed with the ID number and location of the spare tire pressure sensor mounted in the wheel of the spare tire. This may be
done using a TPM-RKE Analyzer special tool by following the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for Program
Tire Sensor ID w/TPM Tool under Miscellaneous Functions for the WIN menu item. If a TPM-RKE Analyzer special tool is not
available, the spare tire must be dismounted from its wheel to access and note the ID number on the spare tire pressure sensor so that
the ID code for that sensor can be programmed into the new WIN. Follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool
for Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID under Miscellaneous Functions for the WIN menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with the optional export premium Vehicle Theft System, when the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) is replaced
with a new unit, the shaft lock module MUST also be replaced. See: Steering and Suspension/Steering/Steering Column/Steering Column
Lock/Service and Repair/Shaft Lock Module - Removal .
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with a shaft lock module the WIN initialization procedure is required whenever the WIN or shaft lock module is
replaced.See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Service and Repair
