Shaft Lock Module - Installation

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. Be certain that a valid FOB with Integrated Key (FOBIK) is still present in the ignition switch. Leave the FOBIK in the ignition switch 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.
3. Slide the module toward the top of the column far enough for the spring clips (2) on the module to engage the bracket.
4. Reinstall the steering column into the vehicle. Steering Column - Installation.
5. Reconnect the instrument panel wire harness connector to the shaft lock module connector receptacle.
6. Reconnect the battery negative cable.

NOTE: If the shaft lock module has been replaced with a new unit, the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) MUST also be replaced. Wireless Ignition Node Receiver - Removal . Also, a diagnostic scan tool MUST be used to initialize the new module before the vehicle can be operated. .
