What is the reason for the electronic steering lock failure in the Baojun 560 one-key start system?
2 Answers
Baojun 560 one-key start electronic steering lock failure may be caused by low voltage, the steering column lock not being unlocked, the control key signal not being recognized by the system, the steering column lock failing to unlock, or a steering column malfunction. Precautions for automotive electronic steering: The level of the power steering fluid should not fall below the lower limit marked on the dipstick. If a shortage is detected, the cause should be identified and the fluid should be replenished promptly. If the fluid level is too low, air can easily enter the pipeline. If bubbles appear on the surface of the power steering fluid after replenishment when turning the steering wheel, it indicates the presence of air in the pipeline. If the bubbles do not disappear when turning the steering wheel left or right and the steering remains heavy, the air in the pipeline should be purged. Consequences of electronic steering lock failure: Electronic steering lock failure in the Baojun 560 can cause the car to veer off course during driving, meaning the car will automatically steer to one side even when the steering wheel is kept straight. This may be caused by inaccurate front and rear wheel alignment or inconsistent alignment parameters, or by the left and right steering tie rods being bent, deformed, or having excessive clearance at the hinge.
In my previous car repair experience, I encountered similar issues. Common causes of the BAIC 560 one-button start electronic steering lock failure include insufficient battery power affecting the stability of the system voltage, which is more likely to occur if the car has been left unused for a long time. Additionally, if the key's battery is nearly depleted or the signal is interfered with, the vehicle may fail to recognize a valid key. Aging of the control module is another possible cause, which can lead to the steering column lock getting stuck and failing to unlock. When troubleshooting, start with the simplest steps: check if the battery voltage is normal and try replacing the key's battery to see if there's any improvement. If restarting the vehicle multiple times doesn't work, you need to contact a 4S dealership to diagnose the circuit or perform a software update. Once the steering lock fails and gets stuck, the steering wheel becomes immovable, significantly increasing the danger when parking; regular maintenance of the vehicle's electrical system can reduce the risk, such as annual battery health checks.
