Please discard PIT5119A. The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI. Condition/Concern Customer may comment the keyless entry remote is inoperative at times. This may be caused by the ignition key cylinder door sticks in the up position. When this happens, it will disable the keyless remote start and the door lock functions. Customers may notice a Chime sound when the key is out of the ignition and the driver’s door is open. The likely cause is a sticking ignition key cylinder door on plunger to the micro switch. Recommendation/Instructions Note: Do NOT replace the ignition key cylinder. Use a Lubriplate-type of lubrication spray and lubricate the ignition key cylinder door. Insert the tip of the key in and out to verify the door of the cylinder is not sticking. 1 Ignition key door sticking open Ignition key door in correct position Warranty Information For vehicles repaired under warranty use: Labor Operation Description Labor Time *N9704 Lubricate the Ignition Key Cylinder Door 0.2 * This is a unique labor operation for bulletin use only.
