Module, Shaft Lock: Installation
To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplemental restraint system (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbags, airbag curtains, knee blocker, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect the intelligent battery sensor (ibs)/negative battery cable assembly from the negative battery post, 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.
- Carefully inspect the shaft lock module (3) (also known as the electronic steering column lock/ESCL or the elektronische lenkungs verriegelung/ELV) interface area of the module, the steering shaft and the steering column housing (4) for damage or debris. Remove debris or replace damaged components that could hinder proper shaft lock module operation as required.
- Position the shaft lock module through the opening in the top of the column mount (1) and onto the steering column housing.
- Push the shaft lock module towards the upper end of the column housing far enough to engage the engagement tab of the module with the steering column housing.
- Install and tighten the screw (2) that secures the shaft lock module to the steering column housing. Tighten the screw to 6 n.m (53 in. Lbs.).
- Install the steering column into the vehicle. Refer to COLUMN, INSTALLATION .
- Connect the negative battery cable. If equipped with an intelligent battery sensor (ibs), connect the ibs connector.
Program the modules as described in the module/programming order replacement guide. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
If the shaft lock module has been replaced, the radio frequency hub module (RFHM) must also be replaced. A diagnostic scan tool must be used to initialize the new modules before the vehicle can be operated. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
Vehicles equipped with passive entry keyless go (PEKG): if the RFHM is being replaced, a diagnostic scan tool must be used to initialize and configure the new RFHM. Follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for replace RFHM found under miscellaneous functions for the RFHM menu item.
On vehicles equipped with the sentry key immobilizer system (skis), when the RFHM is replaced with a new unit, a diagnostic scan tool must be used to initialize the new RFHM and to program at least two sentry key fob with integrated key (fobik) transponders before the vehicle can be operated. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
On vehicles equipped with a premium tire pressure monitoring (TPM) system, when the RFHM or the spare tire pressure sensor is replaced with a new unit, a diagnostic scan tool must be used to run a routine that allows the RFHM to be programmed with the id number and location of the spare tire pressure sensor mounted in the wheel of the spare tire. This may be done using a TPM-RKE analyzer special tool by following the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for program tire sensor id with TPM tool under miscellaneous functions for the RFHM menu item. If a TPM-RKE analyzer special tool is not available, the spare tire must be dismounted from its wheel to access and note the id number on the spare tire pressure sensor so that the id code for that sensor can be programmed into the new RFHM. Follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for learn spare tire sensor id under miscellaneous functions for the RFHM menu item as appropriate.
