Identify keys by the five-character key code stamped onto the key. Use the code numbers and a code list in order to determine the lock combination of the vehicle. The owners of key cutting equipment receive the code list from equipment suppliers. If the code number is not available from records or from the five-character key code number, a key code number label is on the inside of the bottom glass on the passenger's side door.

  2. Cut a blank key to the proper level for each of the eight tumbler positions.
  3. Ensure that the key locks and unlocks the lock cylinder.

Replacement Lock Cylinders

The service parts warehouses offer lock cylinders as a complete assembly, including the key. Do not service or code the lock cylinders. If a lock cylinder is faulty, replace the cylinder. Order lock cylinders from the service parts warehouses.
