WELCOME TO MR IGNITION

Ford Mondeo, S-Max & Galaxy Steering Lock Replacement and Emulator Service (2014 & Up)

If your Ford Mondeo, S-Max, or Galaxy won’t start even with a working key, the issue is often a faulty Electronic Steering Lock (ESL/ELV). This fault is especially common in Ford vehicles built on the CD4 platform, typically manufactured from 2014 onwards.

At Mr. Ignition, we supply and program brand-new steering lock units and emulators to restore ignition and steering control. Our professional mobile service provides a fast, cost-effective alternative to expensive main-dealer replacements.


Common Symptoms of a Faulty Steering Lock

  • Ignition turns on, but the car won’t start

  • Steering wheel remains locked even when using the correct key

  • “Steering fault” or “Immobiliser active” warning on the dashboard

  • Clicking or no sound from the steering column

  • Intermittent starting or complete no-start condition

These symptoms typically indicate failure in the electronic steering column lock (ESCL), a component responsible for securing and releasing the steering column when the ignition is turned on.


Compatible Ford Models

Our service covers the following vehicles:

  • Ford Mondeo (2014+)

  • Ford S-Max (2016+)

  • Ford Galaxy (2016+)


Common Fault Codes

When diagnosing a steering lock fault, you may see one or more of these codes:

  • B10A9 – Steering Column Lock Fault
    Indicates a malfunction or loss of signal from the steering lock unit.

  • B10AD – Steering Lock Control Module Error
    The lock cannot engage or communicate with the ECU.

  • U3000 – Control Module Internal Fault
    Suggests a circuit or internal hardware failure within the lock assembly.

  • B1013 – Power Supply Voltage Fault
    The steering lock is receiving incorrect or intermittent voltage.

These codes generally prevent the vehicle from starting, even if the key and immobiliser are working correctly.
