1 Answers
The following are common reasons for electronic steering lock failure preventing vehicle startup: 1. Excessive air in the system: A large amount of air in the power steering system can cause electronic steering lock failure, making the car unable to start. 2. Foreign objects in the steering system: Debris in the steering system may cause the steering pump flow control valve to jam. 3. Insufficient tire pressure: Low tire pressure, interference with the pump's steering column, loose connections, loose/slipping pump belts, or loose pump installation. 4. Loose oil pipe bolts: Loosened connecting bolts in oil pipes leading to steering fluid leakage. 5. Excessive wear of steering piston cylinder: Severe wear in the steering gear piston cylinder among other causes.
