Renault Clio 5, Captur 2 & Arkana Steering Lock Replacement and Emulator Service (2020–2025)

If your Renault Clio 5, Captur 2, Zoe, or Arkana fails to start even when the key or fob is working, the issue may be caused by a faulty Electronic Steering Lock (ESL/ELV). This common fault prevents the steering column from unlocking, leaving the vehicle completely immobilised.

At Mr. Ignition, we supply and program brand-new steering lock units and emulators for the latest Renault models. Our professional mobile service provides a fast, affordable, and dealer-level solution — without the long wait times or inflated costs.

• Ignition powers up but the engine won’t start

Common Fault Codes

If your Renault has an ESL or ELV issue, you may see one or more of these fault codes during diagnostics:

• DF002 – Steering Lock Fault
  The ESL is not responding or stuck in a locked state.

• DF003 – Steering Lock Position Error
  The lock fails to switch between open and closed positions.

• DF032 – Communication Fault with Steering Lock
  The vehicle cannot communicate with the ESL via CAN network.

• B2780 – Steering Lock Control Fault
  Mechanical or electronic malfunction inside the lock assembly.

These issues can stop the engine from starting, even if the key is detected and turns on the ignition.
