SERVICE PROCEDURE Verify steering column lock module is the source of concern. While on level ground, position the steering wheel in the straight ahead position and remove ignition key. Turn the steering wheel clockwise and counterclockwise to verify the steering column lock restricts rotation. The steering lock should engage before ± 15 degrees of rotation, and will be a hard metal stop in each direction. Does the steering column lock engage in each direction? Yes - Do not continue with this procedure. Reference Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-14 for additional diagnostics No - Proceed to step 2. Replace the steering column lock module per WSM, Section 211-05. PART NUMBER PART NAME 9L8Z-3511-A Lock Module - Automatic Transmission 9S4Z-3511-A Lock Module - Manual Transmission
