MERCEDES SPRINTER STEERING LOCK FIX
Does your Mercedes Sprinter suffer from the following issues?
Models affected: Mercedes Sprinter W906 M.Y. 2006-2013
Common issues: steering column lock faulty or faulty key
As the key and electronic steering column lock are parts operating on every cycle of ignition they will wear out and eventually fail.
What is a steering column lock and how does it work?
Modern vehicles are fitted with an electronic steering lock module which is an anti-theft device. It is fitted along the steering column usually about midway of it. The lock module is controlled by the electronic ignition switch. When the ignition switch module receives the correct identification signal from the key it sends a signal to the electronic lock to unlock the column.
Inside, the lock is engaged and disengaged by a mechanism operated by a tiny electric motor which is part of it. The steering column lock unit is personalised to the vehicle by programming and it can only be done once.
The very first columns locks were completely mechanic operated. General Motors introduced them on many of its products in 1969 drastically reducing thefts of these GM models, and on Ford, Chrysler, and AMC products in 1970
