What is the reason why the Baojun 510 electronic steering lock fails to start?
2 Answers
Generally, the reason is that the battery is low on power, causing the steering wheel to lock. If the battery is not the issue, you can only go to a repair facility for computer detection to find the cause of the failure. The following is a related introduction about the Baojun 510: 1. Power system: The Baojun 510 is equipped with a 1.5L high-torque naturally aspirated engine, and the transmission system offers three options: 6MT/5AMT/simulated 8-speed CVT. 2. Body appearance: The new Baojun 510 has a length, width, and height of 4220/1740/1605mm, and a wheelbase of 2550mm. In terms of appearance, it adopts a new front face and rear styling, a brand-new high-gloss matrix grille, paired with LED split-type headlights, while the rear part features conventional halogen taillights.
I've been studying automotive electronic systems for a while. The Baojun 510 encountered an electronic steering lock failure preventing ignition, mainly because this lock is interlocked with the engine anti-theft system, locking the steering column—only unlocking it allows startup. Common issues include abnormal key signals, such as a depleted remote key battery or contaminated contact points; or aging control modules, especially prone to short circuits in humid environments; insufficient battery power can also affect unlocking. Relatively speaking, modern cars heavily rely on electronics, so it's important to regularly replace key batteries and maintain circuits to prevent rust. High summer temperatures or winter freezing may accelerate component damage, so parking in a garage or using a sunshade can slow aging. Similar electronic failures are quite common in domestic compact SUVs. For repairs, it's recommended to choose original factory parts to avoid compatibility issues, ensuring driving safety comes first.
