This bulletin is being updated to add an additional model and clarify cut positions. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 06-00-89-053 (Section 00 - General Information).
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide information to Saturn retailers on adjusting the key cut depths in the Exacta key cutting machine.
The depth of the individual punch cuts in the key may not be deep enough to allow the key to properly engage the tumblers in the lock and/or ignition cylinders. For vehicles affected by this bulletin, the depth of the cut has a greater impact on key function than on earlier Saturn vehicles.
Saturn retailers should adjust key cut depths on the Exacta machine using the instructions provided in this bulletin. If the cut key will not work after adjusting the cut depth to the maximum, replace the punch. (The punch [74-P13-23] can be purchased by contacting Dealer Equipment and Services at 1-800-GM-TOOLS. The key cutter adapter set (depth knob, key punch, space plate and insert) can be purchased by contacting Kent-Moore Customer Service at 1-800-345-2233, tool number J 45823.)
• | To increase the depth of the cut, turn the eccentric adjusting pin (1) counterclockwise toward the 6 o'clock position. |
• | To reduce the depth of the cut, turn the eccentric adjusting pin clockwise toward the 12 o'clock position. |
