What is the reason for the failure of the Baojun 510 electronic steering lock to lock?
3 Answers
Baojun 510 electronic steering lock failure to lock is due to an electronic steering lock malfunction, caused by low vehicle 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. The specific fault requires further inspection at a 4S shop. Solution: For the Baojun 510 electronic steering lock failure to lock, it is necessary to go to a repair shop to read the fault codes and carry out repairs based on the specific fault codes. Checking the fault codes requires the use of a decoder in conjunction with diagnostics to resolve the issue. Potential hazards of this fault: A fault in the Baojun 510 electronic steering lock can cause the vehicle to drift during driving, meaning the steering wheel remains stationary while the car automatically moves to one side.
My Baojun 510 recently encountered an issue where the electronic steering wheel lock wouldn't engage, and it took me a while to figure it out. It might be due to unstable battery voltage - when it drops below 12 volts, the system doesn't have enough power to activate the lock. Alternatively, mechanical components near the steering column could be jammed, with dust accumulation preventing the motor from turning. Another possibility is interference with the remote key signal, where placing a phone too close or having strong magnetic equipment in the garage can affect recognition. The most troublesome scenario is when the body control module malfunctions, with software errors causing commands to not be transmitted properly. A simple solution is to disconnect the battery's negative terminal for a few minutes and then reconnect it to force a system reboot, then try locking the car again to see if it works. If that doesn't help, you'll need to visit a shop to check the fuses and module parameters. Prolonged issues can lead to dangerous steering failures - in my case, replacing the battery resolved the problem.
Last time my Baojun 510 steering wheel wouldn't lock, which was quite frightening. The cause is usually minor issues, such as poor contact in the ignition switch or corroded contacts preventing signal transmission. A weak battery could also be the culprit, as insufficient power causes the automatic protection function to fail. Or the key chip might be running low on battery, sending signals too weak for the car to receive commands. Less commonly, a faulty sensor, like an angle sensor falsely reporting incorrect steering column position, could prevent locking. Don't tinker blindly; first try the spare key. The reset method is simple: open the driver's door, wait ten seconds, close it properly, then relock. If that doesn't work, get it checked immediately—breaking down midway is troublesome.
