Unable to Unlock Steering Wheel (Engine cannot Start) [08/2015 - 08/2019]: Description

The steering lock actuator activates the steering lock motor and moves the lock bar into the steering column to lock the steering wheel.

The steering may not unlock when the lock bar gets stuck in the lock hole of the steering column. In this case, if an engine start operation is performed while shaking the steering wheel in the same manner as is done for a vehicle with a mechanical key, the lock bar will be unlocked. If the certification ECU, ID code box or ECM is replaced, the system needs to be initialized. Otherwise, the steering cannot be unlocked and the engine cannot be started (Refer to REGISTRATION [08/2015 - 08/2019] ).
