Compatible Nissan & Dacia Models
Suitable Electronic Steering Lock applications covered by this specialist service may include:
Compatible applications may include vehicles within the 2018–2025 period where applicable, but model year alone should not be used to determine steering lock compatibility.
Vehicle production dates, regional specifications and component revisions can differ. The exact vehicle and original steering lock part number should therefore be checked before selecting a replacement unit or emulator.
What Is an Electronic Steering Lock?
An Electronic Steering Lock is an electronically controlled component used on certain vehicles as part of the steering security and vehicle starting system.
When operating correctly, the system communicates with other relevant vehicle electronics as part of the normal lock, unlock and starting sequence.
If the Electronic Steering Lock fails mechanically, electronically or loses the required communication, the vehicle may be unable to confirm the expected steering lock state. Depending on the vehicle, this can prevent the normal starting sequence from completing.
ESL, ELV & ESCL Steering Lock Terminology
Electronic Steering Lock systems may be referred to using different terminology, including ESL, ELV and ESCL.
The terminology used can depend on the manufacturer, vehicle system, diagnostic equipment and technical documentation.
Regardless of terminology, correct vehicle-specific diagnosis is important because similar non-start symptoms can also be caused by other starting, security or communication-system faults.
Common Electronic Steering Lock Failure Symptoms
A failing Electronic Steering Lock can produce different symptoms depending on the vehicle and the nature of the fault.
- Steering remains locked when attempting to start the vehicle
- Vehicle intermittently refuses to start
- Vehicle becomes completely unable to start
- Push-button start system does not respond normally
- Steering Lock Fault warning appears
- Lock Malfunction warning appears
- Clicking can be heard from the steering-column area
- Electronic Steering Lock operates intermittently
- Relevant steering lock or communication fault codes are stored
These symptoms can indicate a steering lock problem, but they should not automatically be treated as proof that the Electronic Steering Lock itself requires replacement.
Steering Lock Fault Warning
A Steering Lock Fault warning may appear when the vehicle detects that the expected steering lock operation or communication has not occurred correctly.
Depending on the system, the vehicle may remain usable temporarily or may become unable to complete the normal starting sequence.
The warning should be considered alongside the vehicle symptoms and diagnostic information before determining the appropriate repair.
Lock Malfunction Warning
A Lock Malfunction warning may indicate that the vehicle has detected a problem relating to the operation or status of a relevant locking system.
Where this warning is accompanied by a steering lock that does not release or a vehicle that refuses to start, appropriate diagnosis of the Electronic Steering Lock and related systems may be required.
Clicking From the Steering Column
Clicking from the steering-column area when attempting to start the vehicle can sometimes be associated with an Electronic Steering Lock attempting to operate without successfully completing the expected lock or unlock movement.
The presence or absence of a clicking sound should not be used alone to determine the condition of the steering lock. Electronic, mechanical and communication-related problems can produce different symptoms.
Intermittent Electronic Steering Lock Failure
Electronic Steering Lock problems do not always result in an immediate permanent failure.
Some faults may initially appear intermittently. The vehicle may start normally on one occasion and then fail to recognise or release the steering lock on another.
Intermittent symptoms can become increasingly frequent, making appropriate diagnosis useful before the vehicle becomes completely immobilised.
Fault Code B2780 – Steering Lock Control Fault
Fault code B2780 may be associated with an issue affecting steering lock control or operation.
Where B2780 is present alongside symptoms such as the steering remaining locked or the vehicle failing to start, the relevant Electronic Steering Lock system may require further assessment.
The presence of B2780 should not automatically be treated as confirmation that a specific steering lock component must be replaced.
Fault Code B2781 – Steering Lock Position Error
Fault code B2781 may relate to a steering lock position error or a problem confirming the expected lock or unlock state.
Depending on the vehicle architecture, failure to confirm the expected steering lock position may interfere with the normal starting sequence.
Appropriate diagnosis should be carried out before selecting a replacement or emulator solution.
Fault Code B2799 – Immobiliser / Engine Communication Fault
Fault code B2799 may be associated with a communication or authorisation problem involving the vehicle immobiliser, engine management or related security systems.
Because the vehicle starting sequence can depend on communication between several components, B2799 does not automatically identify the Electronic Steering Lock as the failed component.
Where B2799 is present alongside steering lock symptoms, the relevant security and communication systems should be considered as part of the diagnostic process.
Fault Code U1000 – CAN Communication Fault
Fault code U1000 is associated with a CAN communication problem within the vehicle's electronic network.
Multiple control modules can communicate through the CAN network, meaning U1000 does not automatically prove that the Electronic Steering Lock has failed.
Where U1000 is present alongside a steering lock or non-start problem, the relevant communication paths and affected vehicle systems should be considered during diagnosis.
Important: Keep the Fault Codes — Diagnose the Cause
Fault codes B2780, B2781, B2799 and U1000 can provide important diagnostic information when investigating steering lock and non-start problems.
Simply clearing a stored fault code does not repair a failed Electronic Steering Lock, immobiliser problem or CAN communication fault.
The underlying cause should first be appropriately identified and repaired. Relevant diagnostic fault information can then be addressed where suitable, followed by verification of the affected vehicle systems.
Electronic Steering Lock Part Number 48700-5RB9A
Part number 48700-5RB9A is associated with compatible Electronic Steering Lock applications covered by this specialist service.
Where a vehicle is fitted with a steering lock associated with this part number, the exact component and vehicle specification should still be confirmed before selecting a replacement steering lock or compatible emulator.
A matching or associated part number can be an important compatibility reference, but it should be considered alongside the vehicle model, year and exact system fitted.
Electronic Steering Lock Replacement
Where an Electronic Steering Lock has suffered a confirmed failure and a compatible replacement is available, replacing the affected steering lock may be an appropriate solution.
The correct component should be selected for the exact vehicle system. Using vehicle-specific and part-number information can help establish compatibility before work is carried out.
Depending on the vehicle, relevant procedures may also be required following installation to ensure that the affected systems communicate and operate correctly.
Electronic Steering Lock Emulator Service
For certain compatible applications, a correctly selected steering lock emulator may provide an alternative solution following confirmation of an Electronic Steering Lock failure.
An emulator is not a universal solution for every Nissan or Dacia non-start condition. Compatibility depends on the exact vehicle architecture and the underlying cause of the problem.
If another security, starting or communication component is responsible for the fault, fitting a steering lock emulator may not resolve the vehicle's underlying problem.
Steering Lock Emulator Programming & Configuration
Where a compatible emulator is technically appropriate, the unit must be suitable for the exact vehicle system and configured according to the requirements of that application.
The objective is to restore the expected communication or system response required by the supported vehicle application.
Compatibility should always be confirmed before installation rather than assuming that an emulator designed for one steering lock system will operate with another.
Immobiliser & Security-System Communication
The starting sequence on modern vehicles can involve communication between multiple electronic components and security systems.
A vehicle that refuses to start may therefore have a problem involving the Electronic Steering Lock, an immobiliser-related component, network communication or another part of the starting system.
Where relevant to a supported vehicle and confirmed repair, appropriate communication or configuration procedures may form part of the work required to restore normal operation.
Fault-Code Handling After Repair
A steering lock or communication problem may leave fault information stored within relevant vehicle control modules.
Following successful diagnosis and appropriate repair, replacement or emulator work, relevant diagnostic information can be addressed where technically suitable.
Fault-code clearing should follow correction of the underlying fault rather than being treated as a standalone repair.
Post-Repair System Verification
Following suitable Electronic Steering Lock replacement or compatible emulator work, relevant system operation can be checked to help verify that the affected components are responding and communicating as expected.
Depending on the vehicle, verification may include checking steering lock-related operation, starting response and relevant diagnostic information.
Nissan Kicks Steering Lock Replacement & Emulator
Compatible Nissan Kicks vehicles experiencing a suspected Electronic Steering Lock fault can be assessed to determine whether the steering lock or another related system is responsible for the symptoms.
Where a suitable steering lock failure is confirmed, an appropriate replacement or compatible emulator solution may be available depending on the exact vehicle and system fitted.
Providing the vehicle registration, year, fault codes and original steering lock part number where available can help with compatibility assessment.
Nissan Micra Steering Lock Replacement & Emulator
Suitable Nissan Micra applications experiencing a steering lock that will not release, intermittent no-start condition or relevant steering lock fault codes may require specialist Electronic Steering Lock diagnosis.
Where the affected Electronic Steering Lock is confirmed and the vehicle system is compatible, replacement or an appropriate emulator solution may be considered.
Compatibility should be established for the exact Nissan Micra application before work is carried out.
Nissan Juke Steering Lock Replacement & Emulator
Compatible Nissan Juke Electronic Steering Lock systems can be assessed where the vehicle displays suitable steering lock symptoms or refuses to complete the normal starting sequence.
The correct solution depends on the exact vehicle, system fitted and underlying fault. Suitable options may include Electronic Steering Lock replacement or a compatible emulator solution following diagnosis.
Part-number information can be useful when identifying the relevant system and confirming compatibility.
Dacia Logan III Steering Lock Replacement & Emulator
Suitable Dacia Logan III applications experiencing Electronic Steering Lock-related symptoms can be assessed to determine the likely affected component and appropriate solution.
