1 General Information
This Section contains the service procedures for body components not specific to other Sections of this Service
Information Package such as:
• Body Leak Diagnosis
• Body Lubrication
• Lock Cylinders and Keys
• Wheelhouse Liners
• Fuel Filler Doors and Cables
• Drain Tubes, Utility
• Body Braces
• Inner rear body panel, Regular Cab and Crew Cab
Body Page 1A1–5
Page 1A1–5
2 Body Leak Diagnosis
Diagnosis of body leaks can be complicated as the appearance of dust or water at one point within the vehicle can be
caused by seepage through any one, or more possible locations. For example the cause of wet front floor coverings
could be either water entering past the door weatherstrip, through the door inner panel, between the windshield and its
adhesive compound or through any one of the joins in the body structure. Therefore, the point or points of water or dust
entry must be established before effective resealing can be carried out.
Water leak diagnosis is usually performed by having an assistant spray a gentle fan of water from a hose around the
suspected area until the leak can be generated. Removal of various trim components from the inside may be required to
determine point of entry. Narrowing down the water spray to the point of greatest water flow will assist in determining the
point of entry.
Dust entry quite often requires the following of signs of dust entry around seals or vent inlets or outlets, etc.
Once detected, repair the area by replacing faulty components or applying the correct sealer or adhesive.
Body Page 1A1–6
Page 1A1–6
3 Body Lubrication
Careless or excessive application of body
lubricants can cause staining of the paint
finish and interior trim, damage clothing, and
become a trap for dirt. Use lubricants
sparingly and remove any excess
immediately.
The moving mechanical parts of the body which have metal to metal contact are lubricated at assembly of the vehicle.
Operating conditions, whether normal or otherwise, determine the effective life of the lubricant and for this reason
lubrication in service is important. Equally important is the type of lubricant to be used.
Listed below are the body lubrication points. For the recommended lubricants and maintenance schedule refer to
Section 0B Lubrication and Service.

Body Page 1A1–7
Page 1A1–7
4 Lock Cylinders and Keys
A common-key locking system operates the door and
ignition locks. A unique key is provided for the instrument
panel compartment.
All vehicles have a lock cylinder on the driver’s door handle
assembly. Wagon models also have a lock cylinder in the
liftgate handle push button assembly.
The door and ignition key features a remote function that
activates the central locking system and anti-theft system
from a distance of several metres. Inserting the key into the
lock cylinder incorporated in the driver’s door handle also
performs this same function.
A separate button on the remote key for Sedan and Coupe
models opens the rear compartment lid. On AWD Wagon
models this button opens the liftgate window. The liftgate
lock for Wagon models is operated as part of the central
locking system.
Figure 1A1 – 1
NOTE
The key identification number is located on the
vehicle security card, stored with the owner’s
manual. It is essential that this key number be
available should a replacement key be required.
In the event of a key replacement, the Body Control Module (BCM) will require reprogramming to accept the new key,
refer to Section 12J Body Control Module for reprogramming and further information regarding the anti-theft system.
For service procedures for the lock cylinders refer to:
All vehicles:
• Driver’s door lock cylinder, refer to Section 1A5 Front and Rear Door Assemblies.
• Ignition lock cylinder, refer to Section 9 Steering.
Wagon vehicles only:
• Liftgate handle lock cylinder, refer to Section 1A4 Hood, Rear Compartment Lid, Liftgate and Endgate.

7 Fuel Filler Door Assemblies and
Cable Assemblies
If the fuel filler door assembly is being
replaced, the warning labels affixed to the
inside of the door must also be replaced.
The fuel filler door assembly is painted the vehicle body colour. A new fuel filler door assembly is supplied unpainted with
the moulding and lock spring (Sedan and Coupe only) unattached. If repainting an existing door, the moulding and lock
spring will need to be removed as described in this procedure. After painting and before reinstallation, the moulding and
lock spring must be fitted as described in this procedure.
Paint the door using the correct materials and techniques for PPE/PA resin (Polyphenylene/Polyamide). As the materials
and techniques required differ between paint brands, refer to the technical data supplied by your paint manufacturer.
