Why does the car fail to start due to steering system malfunction?

Steering system malfunction causing the car to fail to start may be due to a dead battery. Below is relevant information about automotive fault codes: 1. Meaning: Automotive fault codes are error codes generated by the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) after analyzing malfunctions. Common fault codes are usually caused by sensor failures or poor sensor performance. However, some mechanical faults cannot be detected by the ECU. The vehicle dashboard may display some basic fault indications, but these only represent a small portion. The main diagnostics still require specialized equipment—a code reader—to retrieve fault codes. There are various types of code readers, such as X-431 and KT300, but their working principles and the fault codes they read are essentially the same. 2. Classification: Fault codes are divided into current codes, history codes, and intermittent codes. Current codes are easy to detect, history codes refer to previously unresolved fault codes, while intermittent codes are not fixed.
