Key Interlock Solenoid
- Remove lower panel from steering column. Disconnect connector from main wiring harness and note terminal identification. See Fig 1.
- Using ohmmeter, check continuity between designated terminals with ignition lock assembly in ACC position. Refer to the KEY INTERLOCK SOLENOID CONTINUITY SPECIFICATIONS table.
- If continuity is as specified, go to next step. Replace ignition lock assembly if continuity is not as specified. Key interlock solenoid cannot be serviced separately.
- Connect battery voltage and ground to terminals "A" and "C". Ensure ignition key cannot be removed with battery voltage applied.
- If ignition key cannot be removed, key interlock solenoid is okay. If ignition key can be removed, replace ignition lock assembly. Key interlock solenoid cannot be serviced separately.
