Steering Column Lock: Service and Repair
Installation
INSTALLATION
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplemental restraint system 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 supplemental restraint system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result
in accidental airbag deployment.
1. Be certain that a valid ignition key is still present in the ignition lock cylinder. Leave the key in the lock cylinder while the shaft lock module
service is being completed.
2. Align the engagement and slide tabs integral to the housing of the shaft lock module (1) with the slots and channels in the mounting bracket (3) on
the steering column (2).
3. Slide the module toward the top of the column far enough for the spring clips on the module to engage the bracket.
4. Reinstall the steering column into the vehicle.
5. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
NOTE: If the shaft lock module has been replaced with a new unit, a diagnostic scan tool MUST be used to initialize the new module before the
vehicle can be operated.
