SERVICE INFORMATION
When replacing the Electronic Steering Column Lock, there are two possible service parts that may be shipped to the dealer: 48700-9N00B or 48700-1NC0A. These part numbers are interchangeable.
48700-1NC0A is shown in Figure 1. Its shape (physical appearance) is different than the original.
If you receive Electronic Steering Column Lock P/N 48700-1NC0A, the bolts that hold it in place may not line up. You may not be able to start the bolt threads.
If you encounter the above condition, use a hand file to remove a small amount of metal from the edges shown in Figure 1.
