Vibe FWD L4-2.4L (2009)
Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder: Procedures
Key and Lock Cylinder Coding
Key Identification and Usage
The keys are double sided and reversible. The lock cylinder keyway is designed so that other model keys will not enter a current model lock cylinder.
The keys have 10 cut positions. A single key is used for all locks on the vehicle.
The key identification is obtained from the five-character key code stamped on the key code tag (1). The code list, available to owners of key cutting
equipment from equipment suppliers, determines the lock combinations from the code numbers.
If the code numbers are not available from the records or from the tags, the key code can be obtained from the right-side door lock cylinder (if the key
has not been replaced). Lock cylinders supplied by the factory as service parts are unmarked. If the original key is available, the key code cutting
combination can be determined by laying the key on the key code diagram.
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 (1) of each of the tumbler positions (2).
2. Inspect the key operation in the lock cylinder.
Assembling and Coding Lock Cylinders
Replacement lock cylinders are available from GM Service Parts Operations (SPO) as an assembly. No internal parts for the lock cylinders of this
vehicle are available. The lock cylinder is serviced as a unit. There are no assembly or coding procedures.
