Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Sunfire and 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
  • There must be no gap between the metal terminal stop and the protruding end of the white plastic collar. If there is a gap between the terminal stop and the collar, adjust the position of the park lock cable.
  • The white plastic collar must be flush or recessed about 1 mm (0.04 in) within the ignition park lock housing. If the white plastic collar is not in the proper location, adjust the position of the park lock cable.
  1. Ensure that the terminal stop on the column end of the park/lock cable is touching the white collar that protrudes from the ignition switch. Complete the following steps in order to inspect:
    1. Turn the column lock cylinder to the LOCK position.
    2. Place the floor shift lever into the PARK position.
    3. Verify the correct position of the terminal stop.
  2. Ensure that the white plastic collar travel does not exceed 1.5 mm (0.06 in). In order to inspect the white plastic collar travel, complete the following steps:
    1. Ensure that the column lock cylinder remains in the Lock position.
    2. Ensure that the floor shift lever remains in the PARK position.
    3. Gently depress the park/lock button on the floor shift lever until resistance is felt.
    4. Inspect that the white plastic collar travels no more than 1.5 mm (0.06 in). The floor shift lever must not come out of PARK.
  3. With the column lock cylinder On, verify proper movement of the floor shift lever through all of the gear selections.
  4. While moving the floor shift lever through all of the drive gears, verify that the column lock cylinder cannot be turned to the Lock position.
  5. Ensure that the key can be removed with the column lock cylinder in the Lock position and the floor shift lever in the PARK position.
    IMPORTANT: There are 5 inspections that verify proper installation. The installation must pass all 5 tests.
