Nissan Kicks, Micra, Juke, Dacia Logan 3 & Duster 2 Steering Lock Replacement and Emulator Service (2018–2025)

If your Nissan or Dacia vehicle is showing a “steering lock fault” message or fails to start despite having a working key, the problem is likely due to a faulty Electronic Steering Lock (ESL/ELV). This is a common issue in many newer Nissan and Dacia models, preventing the steering column from unlocking and leaving the vehicle immobilised.

At Mr. Ignition, we provide a complete supply and programming service for new steering locks and emulators, offering an affordable and reliable alternative to main dealer replacements.

Common Symptoms of a Steering Lock Fault

• Steering remains locked when attempting to start the vehicle

• “Steering Lock Fault” or “Lock Malfunction” warning on the dashboard

• Ignition turns on but the engine won’t start

• Clicking sound from the steering column area

• Intermittent no-start condition despite a valid key

• Nissan Micra (2018–2025)

Common Fault Codes

If your vehicle has an ESL or ELV fault, diagnostic scans may show the following error codes:

• B2780 – Steering Lock Control Fault
  Indicates a mechanical or electronic fault inside the steering lock unit.

• B2781 – Steering Lock Position Error
  The lock fails to change between locked and unlocked states.

• B2799 – Immobiliser/Steering Lock Communication Fault
  The immobiliser cannot communicate with the ESL, preventing the engine from starting.

• U1000 – CAN Communication Fault
  A network communication issue between the steering lock module and ECU.

These faults can stop the vehicle from starting, even if the key and immobiliser system are fully functional.
