What does this fault code mean?
The steering column lock module is part of the start blocking system and has to be loaded with several codes before it works. The fault code is set when the CEM receives a message that the lock module has not been programmed. This may follow a failed earlier programming, or a replacement fitted without programming.
Possible causes
- The lock module has not been programmed
What you can do
- 1If the starter motor does not turn, troubleshoot the starting system first, for example the battery and fuses
- 2Programming and software loading must be done by a workshop, so ask a workshop to program the lock control unit
- 3If the control unit was recently replaced, it is probably the one that lacks programming, so tell the workshop
Symptoms you may notice2
- Starter motor does not operate
- Steering column lock does not lock or unlock
