STEP

 

CHECK TO BE PERFORMED

 

SOLUTION IF CHECK IS NOT OK

 

1

 

Check whether the rotor returns

After inserting the key in the lock, check the complete movement/return of the rotor

 

1. The rotor moves/returns (Fig. 1), go to Step 2

2. The rotor does not move/return (Fig. 2), remove the steering lock from the steering column and go to Step 4

 

2

 

Check whether the key can be turned freely

Check whether the key can turn freely from the Stop to the Mar-On position

 

Key rotation is not possible and/or is difficult, go to Step 3

 

3

 

Check the fixing bracket positioning with respect to the steering column

Remove the steering column cover and check the correct fixing bracket positioning with respect to the steering column.

(The manufacturing date must be indicated in the lower part of the bracket and the arrow, if present, must point upwards)

The manufacturing date is indicated with year/month = number/letter

Example: 2.006 April= 6D

The bracket is fitted correctly (Fig. 3)

 

The bracket is not fitted correctly (Fig. 4), remove the steering lock from the steering column and go to Step 4

 

4

 

With the item removed, check the free rotation of the key

With the item removed, check both whether the key can rotate freely from the Stop to the Mar-On position and whether the catch has returned

 

1. The rotor does not move/return (Fig. 2), replace the lock, the steering lock and the fixing bracket and position the latter correctly (Fig.3)

2. The key rotates freely and the catch returns (Fig. 6), take a new bracket from Spare Parts Dpt. Position correctly (Fig.3) and refit the steering lock, checking for any hindrance on the steering column

3. The key rotates freely and the catch does not return (fig. 5), replace the steering lock

   Op. 5520A14 IGNITION KEY LOCK BARREL - R+R

and the fixing bracket and position the latter correctly (Fig.3)

4. Key rotation is difficult and the catch returns (Fig.6), remove the lock from the steering lock and go to Step 5

 

5

 

Check the free rotation of the key in the disassembled lock

Check that the key can turn freely from Stop to Mar in the disassembled lock

 

1. Key rotation is difficult, replace the lock, refit the steering lock using a new bracket and position it correctly (Fig.3)

2. The key rotates freely, replace the steering lock

   Op. 5520A14 IGNITION KEY LOCK BARREL - R+R

and the fixing bracket and position the latter correctly (Fig.3)
