Lock Coding Procedure

There are three lock cylinder designs used in your vehicle. They can be identified by looking at the opposite end of the keyhole.

The assembly procedure is the same as the new lock cylinder has the second design configuration.

The cylinder will now come out from the opposite end.

STEP 2: Pry off tumbler cover with a small screw driver.

STEP 3: Remove the tumblers individually using needle nose pliers. Begin from the end where the keyhole is located; arrange them in the same order in which they were removed on a level and stable surface. It is important to keep the order of the tumblers as they were in the cylinder, if the order is mixed up the lock will not work. Each tumbler is stamped with a number, for extra precautionary measure record the numbers in the same order onto a piece of paper or the template provided.

STEP 2: The new tumblers will have numbers stamped on them as the originals. Insert the new tumblers individually following the same sequence of numbers as the ones in the old lock cylinder. Begin by inserting a tumbler spring in the slot followed by the tumbler, repeat this process until all the tumblers are installed their respective slots.

STEP 3: Using the packet provided, coat the cylinder with a thin layer of grease before installing into case. Align cylinder with case as shown for installation.
