1 Answers
The reason for the failure to start due to a steering column lock malfunction is either a fault in the vehicle's anti-theft system or a malfunction in the steering column locking mechanism. Below are the relevant details: 1. Automobile Steering Column: The automobile steering column assembly includes an upper column tube, a lower column tube, an upper steering shaft, a lower steering shaft, an upper mounting bracket, and a lower mounting bracket. The upper end of the lower column tube is sleeved inside the lower end of the upper column tube. The upper steering shaft is installed within the upper column tube, and the lower steering shaft is installed within the lower column tube. The upper and lower steering shafts are connected via splines, and the upper mounting bracket is welded to the middle section of the upper column tube. 2. Vehicle Anti-Theft System: Normally, the steering column lock is an anti-theft feature of the vehicle. Almost all vehicles have a steering wheel lock function, and the vehicle can only start normally after the steering wheel lock is disengaged.
