Renault Steering Lock Replacement and Emulator Service
If your Renault refuses to start even when your key card or fob is working, you may be experiencing a faulty Electronic Steering Lock (ESL/ELV). This issue is common across several Renault models and prevents the steering column from unlocking — leaving the car completely immobilised.
At Mr. Ignition, we supply and program brand-new steering lock units and emulator replacements for Renault vehicles. Our professional mobile service is a fast and reliable alternative to main-dealer repairs.
Common Symptoms of a Faulty Renault Steering Lock
“Steering Lock Fault” or “Steering Not Locked” warning on the dashboard
Ignition turns on but engine won’t start
Clicking sound from the steering column
Steering remains locked when pressing the start button
Vehicle intermittently fails to start despite a working key card
Compatible Renault Models
We supply and program new steering locks and emulators for the following models:
Renault Megane II
Renault Megane III
Renault Clio III
Renault Clio IV
Renault Scenic II
Renault Fluence II
Renault Fluence III
Renault Captur
Renault Latitude
Renault Safrane
Common Fault Codes
These diagnostic codes are frequently associated with Renault ESL/ELV steering lock faults:
DF002 – Steering Lock Fault
Steering lock not responding to ECU commands.DF003 – Steering Lock Fault: Locked/Unlocked State Incorrect
The ESL fails to change position when commanded.DF032 – Communication Fault with Steering Lock Module
CAN communication lost or intermittent between ECU and ESL.B2780 – Steering Lock Control Fault
Internal circuit or mechanical error within the lock.
When these faults occur, the vehicle may not start even with a valid key, as the ESL fails to disengage the steering column.
