Baojun 560 electronic steering lock failure cannot start related information is as follows: 1. First, check whether the electronic lock is functioning properly. After confirming the electronic lock is fine, verify that the wiring is also intact. If the wiring is all good, then consider the control unit. 2. Low-voltage circuit faults leading to insufficient battery charge; poor or incorrect wiring connections; poor battery grounding; distributor or Hall sensor damage; ignition switch failure or poor wiring; transistor ignition control unit damage or poor wiring. The diagnostic method for low-voltage circuit faults mostly involves using an ammeter or voltmeter to check each line to eliminate the fault point.
I encountered the trouble of electronic steering lock failure when driving my Baojun 560, which prevented the car from starting. I remember one time when I was in a hurry to go out, I got in, inserted the key, but couldn't start the engine no matter what, and the steering lock icon was displayed on the screen. I was so anxious. It might be due to weak key signal reception. Following a friend's advice, I learned to pull out the key, step outside the car for a few steps, then come back and try again. Sometimes, waiting for half a minute and inserting and removing the key a few times would work. If that didn't help, disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery for a few minutes and then reconnecting it to restart the system was a trick many people had tried. If the problem still wasn't resolved, it's important not to force it, as it could damage the car. Instead, directly contact a 4S shop or professional repair service. Baojun's lock system is a bit sensitive, occasionally triggered by system bugs or poor contact, and timely handling can save on subsequent repair costs.
As an average car owner, it's quite frustrating when the electronic steering lock of my Baojun 560 malfunctions and prevents startup, but don't panic. First, check if the key battery is dead—replacing it with a new one might solve the issue, or try inserting and removing the key a few times to feel for any changes. Next, gently tap the steering wheel or slightly turn the wheels to see if it releases the lock. If the dashboard shows a lock symbol during startup, pause your attempts. If none of these steps work, avoid forcing the ignition and immediately call for a tow to take it to a 4S shop. Such issues with Baojun vehicles often stem from false alarms in the anti-theft system, and they can quickly diagnose and fix it with computer tools—safe and hassle-free.
