Hyundai Sonata Ignition Lock Cylinder

Drivers must have the Ignition Lock Cylinder of the Hyundai Sonata. This allows them to start the engine while simultaneously locking the wheel against thieves with a single keyed turn. The Ignition Lock Cylinder, which is located on the steering column, accepts the uniquely cut key, unlocks the steering wheel, and allows the ignition switch to deliver power from the battery to components and electronics and then to the starter as the key is turned to ACC, ON, and START. Hyundai has been making enhancements to the Sonata steering lock and Ignition Lock Cylinder to prevent slide hammer attacks for a while now. Sonata models from the early years had a traditional mechanical Ignition Lock Cylinder and in later years applied the same basic hardware with a coded transponder key, so the engine cranks only when the chip is recognized by the onboard computer, adding yet another hurdle against forced entry. Although they share the same positions and steering lock, the transponder version includes electronic validation that prevents hot-wiring. Due to wear over time, any Hyundai key may become tough to twist. If the switch contacts or tumbler wafers have failed from vibration, no crank or sudden shutoff issues may occur. Making it a point to maintain the integrity of your vehicle's keys can help every Hyundai Sonata assure smooth Ignition Lock Cylinder operation and reliable starts.
