What to Do When the Baojun 560 Experiences Electronic Steering Failure
2 Answers
Baojun 560 electronic steering lock failure may be 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. Alternatively, the steering column itself may be faulty. A multimeter can be used to check each line to identify the fault point, but a detailed diagnosis requires further inspection at a 4S shop. Below are the common causes of Baojun 560 electronic steering lock failure: 1. Heavy steering: Difficulty in turning the steering wheel left or right due to incorrect front wheel alignment. 2. Insufficient tire pressure: Deformation or wear of the steering linkage, overtightened ball joints, lack of lubrication in the steering gear, excessive tightness in the steering gear meshing pair, or damaged/over-tightened bearings. 3. Deformed safety steering column or flange: Broken front coil springs or deformed body/frame. Excessive tightness in the kingpin and bushing clearance or damaged thrust bearings. Excessive tightness in the tie rod ball joint clearance.
If the electronic power steering of the Baojun 560 malfunctions, you need to stay alert immediately. I once encountered a similar situation while driving, where the steering wheel suddenly became heavy or unresponsive, which was extremely dangerous. The first step is to quickly find a safe place to pull over—don't force it, as that could lead to an accident. Check the basics, like whether the battery is low on power or if a fuse has blown. These can be found in the fuse box in the driver's seat; if you're unsure, refer to the owner's manual. If the issue persists after restarting the vehicle, definitely avoid attempting DIY repairs. It's best to visit a professional repair shop or go directly to a Baojun 4S store for diagnosis. The technicians there can use professional tools to check whether there's an issue with the steering system's sensors or control module. Before driving, it's a good habit to check the dashboard for any warning lights—early prevention saves a lot of trouble. Safety comes first, so don't skimp on repair costs.
