How to Solve Electronic Steering Lock Failure?
1 Answers
To address electronic steering lock failure, first analyze the cause of the issue. Inspect the steering gear, steering pump control valve, oil cup filter, and steering fluid, then clean the entire power steering system to troubleshoot. Common causes of electronic steering lock failure include: 1. Excessive dirt inside the oil cup: clogged filter or low oil level. 2. Significant air in the power steering system. 3. Foreign objects in the steering system: causing the steering pump flow control valve to stick. 4. Insufficient tire pressure: interference with the steering column, loose connections, loose or slipping pump belt, or loose pump installation. 5. Loose bolts at various tubing connections: leading to steering fluid leakage. 6. Excessive wear of the steering gear piston cylinder: poor oil seal performance, control valve sticking, or damage.
