INTERMEDIATE SHAFT
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - STEERING
COLUMN INTERMEDIATE SHAFT
The steering column (to steering gear) intermedi-
ate shaft has an integrated lower coupler with uni-
versal joint. The entire assembly MUST be replaced
whenever any of the following conditions exist.
• Whenever a vehicle is involved in a collision
which deploys the airbag, regardless of the extent of
damage done to the vehicle.
• If a vehicle is involved in an impact of the vehi-
cle’s front suspension or undercarriage, which results
in any type of damage to the front crossmember.
• Under any conditions which result in the steer-
ing column assembly or steering column shaft receiv-
ing a force great enough to move the steering column
or shaft forward or rearward in the vehicle.
Inspect the intermediate shaft and integrated cou-
pler for the following conditions:
• Seized bearing
• Loose bearing stake
• Bearing not seated properly
The steering column intermediate shaft MUST be
replaced as an entire assembly if a problem condition
is found.
KEY/LOCK CYLINDER
DESCRIPTION
The lock cylinder is inserted in the end of the
housing opposite the ignition switch.
OPERATION
The ignition key rotates the cylinder to 5 different
detents (Fig. 35) :
• Accessory
• Off (lock)
• Unlock
• On/Run
• Start
REMOVAL
The lock cylinder is inserted in the end of the
housing opposite the ignition switch. The ignition key
rotates the cylinder to 5 different detents:
(1) Disconnect negative cable from battery.
(2) Remove the tilt lever attaching screw. Remove
lever.
(3) Remove the upper and lower covers from the
steering column.
(4) Turn the ignition key to the run position. When
ignition switch is in the run position, the lock cylin-
der retaining tab will depress.
(5) Depress tab and slide lock cylinder out of hous-
ing (Fig. 36).

INSTALLATION
The lock cylinder is inserted in the end of the
housing opposite the ignition switch. The ignition key
rotates the cylinder to 5 different detents:
(1) Install key in lock cylinder. Turn key to run
position (retaining tab on lock cylinder can be
depressed).
(2) The shaft at the end of the lock cylinder aligns
with the socket in the end of the housing. To align
the socket with the lock cylinder, ensure the socket is
in the Run position (Fig. 37).
(3) Align the lock cylinder with the grooves in the
housing. Slide the lock cylinder into the housing
until the tab sticks through the opening in the hous-
ing (Fig. 38).
(4) Turn key to Off position. Remove key.
(5) If the vehicle has column shift and a new lock
cylinder was used, install and adjust a new interlock
cassette. Refer to Ignition Interlock in this section. If
the vehicle has a floor shift, adjust the interlock
cable when the lock cylinder is replaced. Refer to the
Floor Shift Interlock Adjustment procedure in the
Transmission section..
(6) Install upper and lower cover on steering col-
umn.
(7) Install tilt lever.
(8) Connect negative cable to battery.
LOCK CYLINDER HOUSING
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect remote battery ground cable at
right strut tower and isolate.
(2) Remove tilt lever, upper and lower steering col-
umn shrouds. (Refer to 19 - STEERING/COLUMN/
LOWER SHROUD - REMOVAL)
(3) If equipped with Sentry Key Imobilizer System,
remove SKIM. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELEC-

column.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position new lock cylinder housing on steering
column (Fig. 41).
NOTE: In order to correctly seat the lock cylinder
housing to the steering column, the right side
mounting screw (from drivers’ in-vehicle position)
must be seated and tightened first as outlined in
the following steps.
(2) Install and tighten new right side mounting
screw to 10 N·m (89 in. lbs.) torque.
(3) Install and tighten new left side mounting
screw to 10 N·m (89 in. lbs.) torque.
(4) Install ignition switch. (Refer to 19 - STEER-
ING/COLUMN/IGNITION SWITCH - INSTALLA-

(6) Attach wiring harness in place on left side of
column using nut.
(7) Install a new shift interlock cassette. If the
vehicle has a floor shift, reconnect and adjust the
shift cable as necessary.
(8) If equipped with Sentry Key Imobilizer System,
