What is the reason for the Baojun 560 displaying an electronic steering lock failure?
2 Answers
Baojun 560 displays an electronic steering lock failure due to the following reasons: low car voltage, the steering column lock not being opened, or the remote key not matching the system, preventing the steering column lock from unlocking, or a fault in the steering column itself. Further inspection at a 4S shop is required. An electronic steering lock failure in the Baojun 560 can cause the car to drift while driving, automatically steering to one side. The Baojun 560 is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4620mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1750mm in height, a wheelbase of 2750mm, a manual transmission type, and front-wheel drive. The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
I've driven the Baojun 560 for several years and encountered an electronic steering lock failure warning. That time it was a problem with the steering wheel lock system - after the fault was displayed, the steering felt stiff. After troubleshooting, the main causes were either a loose or worn steering column sensor, or possibly a burnt-out ECU control module. Later, I went to the 4S dealership to replace the sensor and it was resolved. Normally, you should avoid frequent sharp turns or forcibly locking the wheels when parking to prevent such faults. Battery aging often leads to voltage instability, causing system false alarms. I recommend regularly checking the battery. If you discover a fault, don't force the car to drive as it could easily lead to steering failure - safety first!
